Baez Joan Rainbow Road 3 03 Don Fritt And Dan Penn lyrics

I was born a poor poor man
All my life I had hard workin` hands
But I sang a song as I carried my load
Cuz I had a dream about rainbow, rainbow road

Then one day my chance came along
A man heard me singin` and playing these old songs
He bought me fine clothes, paid the money I owed
Started me on my way down rainbow, rainbow road

Then one night a man wiht a knife
Pushed me till I had to take his life
Fast as fallin` all my friends were gone
That old judge traded me a sentence for a song

Just livin` with that ball `n chain
Had to wear a number `for they`d ever call my name
Like a dream I`m growing old
But we still sing about rainbow, rainbow read
