歌曲歌詞
From a carnie show and a rodeo
that shared a three day stand
A cowboy met a fiery carnie queen
In new spring nights amid
the lights of the painted carnie van
They laughed and loved and shared shortlived dreams
But the carnie show and the rodeo
went their seperate ways
And the carnie season bloomed and soon moved on
And I was born on a winter morn to
the dark eyed carnie queen
The too late son of something that was gone
The black sheep child that grew up wild
From the seed the four winds sowed
Unwanted son of ice and fire
An orphan of the road
I was still a child when my mama died
Of a chill that closed her eyes
So I was left to grow up on my own
Without a name too wild to tame no one cared to try
So mostly I was mostly left alone
In dingy bars and cold boxcars hobo jungle camps
I joined the men who drift from town to town
The surging flood of restless blood flowed inside my veins
I'd never find the time to settle down
The black sheep child that grew up wild
From the seed the four winds sowed
Unwanted son of ice and fire
An orphan of the road
In the misty rain I caught the train that
slowed down through the town
And I pulled myself into the boxcar door
In a passing light in the deep grey night
I saw the still dark form
Of an old man lying sick upon the floor
And he said I tried to find her but
They told me that she'd died
And that she'd left an only son behind
And I tried to find him but I never did
but I know I could rest in peace
If I could just see him once before I die
I found a match and I quickly scratched
it into a flickering flame
Then I held it close and I gently raised his head
My mother sir I said of her I have her same dark eyes
He smiled a cowboy smile and then was dead
The black sheep child that grew up wild
From the seed the four winds sowed
Unwanted son of ice and fire
An orphan of the road
