lyrics

I was born in a lonesome town
Way up North on frozen ground
My daddy bounced me on his knee
Waitin' on the sun

Times was hard, times was mean
We got by sellin' beads
Days spent watching the river freeze
Dreaming of the sun

Then one day when I was grown
Seventeen with a heart of stone
I put on my boots and I left my home
Heading for the sun

I jumped on a wagon that was heading West
Dreaming of gold like all the rest
When we got there I's the only one left
Burnin' 'neath the sun.
