Because Of The Wind Lyrics - Singles - Ely Joe

Do you know why the trees bend 

At the west Texas border? 

Do you know why they bend 

Sway and twine? 

The trees bend because of the wind 

Across that lonesome border 

The trees bend because of the wind 

Almost all the time. 

Have you seen my Caroline 

Up in Amarillo 

Have you seen my Caroline 

The one that I call mine 

Well, if you see my Caroline 

With her hair of yellow 

If you see my Caroline 

Tell her I'm doin' fine. 

She is to me like the breeze 

That blows from Corpus Christi 

She is to me like the breeze 

That blows up from the sea 

Now if she is like the breeze 

That blows from Corpus Christi 

Then I must be like the trees, 

Cause Caroline blows through me. 

Do you know why the trees bend 

At the west Texas border? 

Do you know why they bend 

Sway and twine? 

The trees bend because of the wind 

Across that lonesome border 

The trees bend because of the wind 

Almost all the time. 

er hide. 

Crawdaddy opened his pintchers wide. 

Lord, he opened his pintchers wide. 

Whistle Man, Whistle Man, wasn't he brave? 

A little crawdaddy tried to whoop this train. 

He was brave all right, brave as any man, 

But his judgement, Lord, wasn't worth a damn. 

Whistle Man, Whistle Man, blow it low, 

Crawdaddy ain't in this world no more. 

Whistle Man, Whistle Man, Whistle Man, 

Blow it for the crawdaddy in the promised land. 

Blow it for the crawdaddy in the promised land. 

(Train whistle) Blow it for the crawdaddy in the promised land.
