Jennie John and Sister Suzie say that I've been bad. Now I don't know what they're talkin' about. But our dady sure is mad. I can't understand it why they're getting so uptight. I don't think I'll sick around here. I ain't lookin' for a fight.. Chorus. Wild winds are blowin'. Rivers keep on flowin'. So I'd better get going to try to leave it all behind. Wild winds are blowin'. Rivers keep on flowin'. So I'd better get going to get a little peace of mind.. My brother keeps on callin' round. To see what I intend. But I ain't never in when he calls. It's sad to lose a friend. I bought myself a ticket. But I don't wanna leave this town. And there's a lot of people right here. Who don't want me around.. Chorus. I heared her uncle Sammy. He's polishin' his gun. I don't like the look on his face. So I think I'd better run. I better get on a greyhound bus. Before her folks arrive. 'Cause I am just a young man. And I wanta stay alive.. Chorus. Wild winds are blowin' yeah. Wild winds are blowin' yeah. Wild winds are blowin' yeah. Wild winds are blowin' yeah.
