Bugsy, here's the lyrics as they're printed in the liner notes. I don't completely agree with them, but it's close enough that my complaints are pretty trivial. I'm by myself and not too long started Many fine women have told me so There's a window pointing and we must be parted I've been a short time on a long-time troubled road But I'll keep on jiving, my head's thrown back high I don't need no map scale, I can follow my eyes But if someone asks you, tell 'em I feel fine Over these valleys and hills, my voice will fly Some people say I'm a long-tail rouster And ever on my face will your eyes cling Other people say I'm I dusty-old drifter And when the rains fall lonesome, baby that's ok I'm going back to the sky-kissed mountain With my collar up, up, up, up, to stop the driving rain I'm gonna drink from a crystal fountain And I just may catch onto a west-bound train I'm by myself and not too long started Down trouble's road, Lord, I have come To the silver waters I'll be returning To run my race with the blazing sun
