Can't Help But Wonder Where I'm Bound (Simon & Garfunkel version cover)

I was inspired by mymytheysigh's wonderful cover of this song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME736Y7jMB0

I've loved this song for ages, so I just had to try it myself. :D

Too bad this never appeared on any of S&G's studio albums. This is NOT a S&G original, but it was written by Tom Paxton.

For S&G's version, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Gplm8RzoE4

Lyrics:

It's a hot and dusty road
A hard and a heavy load
And the people that I meet ain't always kind
Some are bad and some are good
Some have done the best they could
Some have tried to ease my troublin' mind

Refrain
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm bound
Can't help but wonder where I'm bound

I have travelled this whole land
I have done the best I can
Tryin' to find what I was meant to do
And the faces that I see
Look as worried as can be
And it seems like they are wonderin' too

(refrain)

I had a little girl one time
She had lips like cherry wine
And she loved me 'till my mind went plumb insane
But I was too blind to see
She was drifting away from me
And she left one day on the morning train

(refrain)

I had a buddy way back home
But he started out to roam
And I believe he's down by 'Frisco bay
And sometimes when I've had a few
His voice comes ringin' through
And I'm going back to see him some ol' day

(refrain)

Thanks, Chris! I appreciate your nice comment!

[PENNYWHO]

Never heard but you did a wonderful job as usual. Did you buy an electric guitar???

[Vleatles]

@PENNYWHO

Hey Penny!

The electric guitar is my boyfriend's guitar. He's an absolute beginner at guitar but wanted to learn electric guitar by all means! He knows three chords (Em, Am and D) already, haha. We all have to start somewhere, right? :P

@Vleatles - Oh, dang-nab-it.

My humor is kinda' "inside-out" n' I was worried I'd be misunderstood.

Well, I'm glad you got "kind of" a laugh. ;-)

Have a great weekend ! Wally :-))
