Kingsport Town (Freewheelin’ Outtake, NYC, 1962)

[Verse 1]

The winter wind is a blowing strong

My hands have got no gloves

I wish to my soul that I could see

The gal I'm a-thinking of

[Verse 2]

Don't you remember me, babe?

I remember you quite well

You caused me to leave old Kingsport Town

With a high sheriff on my trail

[Verse 3]

High sheriff on my trail, boys

High sheriff on my trail

All because I'm falling for

A curly-headed dark-eyed girl

[Harmonica Solo]

[Verse 4]

Who's a-gonna stroke your coal black hair

And sandy colored skin?

Who's a-gonna kiss your Memphis lips

When I'm out in the wind?

[Verse 5]

When I'm out in the wind, babe

When I'm out in the wind

Who's a-gonna kiss your Memphis mouth

When I'm out in the wind?

[Harmonica Solo]

[Verse 6]

Who's a-gonna walk you side by side

And tell you everything's alright?

Who's a-gonna sing to you all day long

And not just in the night?

[Verse 7]

Who's a-gonna walk you side-by-side?

Who's a-gonna be your man?

Who's a-gonna look you straight in the eye

And hold your bad luck hand?

[Verse 8]

Hold your bad luck hand, babe

Hold your bad luck hand

Who's a-gonna hold your hard luck hand

And who's a-gonna be your man?

[Harmonica Solo]

[Verse 1]

The winter wind is a blowing strong

My hands have got no gloves

I wish to my soul I could see

The girl I'm a-thinking of
