Joan Baez - Rainbow Road lyrics
[Joan Baez - Rainbow Road lyrics]
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 with 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 road
