Rainbow Road |
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 |
