      C
It’s a long and a dusty road,

        F          Am    Dm
it’s a hot and a heavy load,

         G             G7          C  *
and the folks I meet ain’t always kind

 C
Some are bad and some are good

          F        Am        Dm
Some have done the best they could

          G          G7               C  *
Some have tried to ease my troublin mind
[Chorus]
      F              G                C
And I can’t help but wonder where I’m bound,

C/B        Am    Dm               G     G7        C
where I’m bound; can’t help but wonder where I’m bound
Dm G G7 C [Verse]
      C
I have wandered through this land,

       F       Am     Dm
just a-doin the best I can,

          G         G7              C  *
trying to find what I was meant to do

                                  F       Am     Dm
And the people that I see look as worried as can be,

        G          G7                   C  *
and it looks like they are a-wondering too
[Chorus]
     F              G                C
So I can’t help but wonder where I’m bound,

C/B        Am    Dm              G     G7        C
where I’m bound; can’t help but wonder where I’m bound
[Verse]
        C
Now I had a little girl one time,

        F           Am    Dm
she had lips like a cherry wine,

        G              G7               C  *
and she loved me til my head went plumb insane,
But I was too blind to see,
        F        Am       Dm
she was drifting away from me,

        G             G7               C  *
and my good gal went off on the mornin train
[Chorus]
      F              G                C
Now I can’t help but wonder where I’m bound,

C/B        Am    Dm               G     G7        C
where I’m bound; can’t help but wonder where I’m bound
[Verse]
      C                                 F       Am     Dm
And I had a buddy back home, but he started out to roam

       G         G7           C
And I hear he's out by Frisco Bay

     C                                      F          Am           Dm
And sometimes when I've had a few, his old voice comes a-ringin' through

        G         G7           C
And I'm goin' out to see him some old day
[Chorus]
      F              G                C
Now I can’t help but wonder where I’m bound,

C/B        Am    Dm               G     G7        C
where I’m bound; can’t help but wonder where I’m bound
Dm G G7 C [Verse]
      C                          F            Am     Dm
Wll if you see me passin’ by and you stop and you wonder why,

        G        G7                  C  *
and you wish that you were a rambler too,
Nail your shoes to the kitchen floor
         F      Am       Dm
Lace ‘em up and bar the door

            G            G7               C
Thank your stars for the roof that’s over you
[Chorus]
         F              G                C
‘cause I can’t help but wonder where I’m bound,

C/B        Am    Dm               G     G7        C
where I’m bound; can’t help but wonder where I’m bound
[Outro] (Instrumental Chorus)
