What's the Matter with Me - David McWilliams

As I walked down by the river, down by the silver stream

My head kept wondering back, to all the things I’ve done and seen

To faces, places, lands and scenes, forgotten in my mind

Dreams and memories buried deep, a long time left behind

Hey what’s the matter with me Hey what’s the matter with me The dust clouds were a-rollin', falling fast and deep

Taking all the sunbeams daring them to sleep

But the wind it wasn’t blowing, like a lonesome baby crying

Blowing hard behind me, pushing down the line

Hey what’s the matter with me Hey what’s the matter with me Oh the road is long and dusty, it’s a rough road to ride

There’s gold in its horizon, but there’s pitfalls by its side

Yet there’s something that’s a pushing me, it’s howling from behind

Train whistle blowing, think I’ll get on down the line

Hey what’s the matter with me Hey what’s the matter with me
