Kingsport Town (Freewheelin' Outtake, NYC, 1962) Lyrics

The winter wind is a blowing strong
My hands have got no gloves
I wish to my soul that I could see
The girl I'm thinking of

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

High sheriff on my trail, boys
High sheriff on my trail
All because I'm falling for
A curly headed dark eyed girl

Who's a-gonna stroke your cold black hair?
And sandy colored skin
Who's a-gonna kiss your Memphis lips?
When I'm out in the wind

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

Who's a-gonna walk you side by side?
Tell you every thing's alright
Who's a-gonna sing to you all day long?
And not just in the night

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

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?

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 thinking of
