"not exactly the same as the DT lyrics"
Right. I made a point of listening to the original recording, and here's what I have. Mostly unimportant differences, but I think in verse 3, line 1, the difference between "thumbed" and "bummed" is worth noting.
If you can't come along, love, you must stay behind You're bound to say farewell to me I must bid you goodbye, though I hate to see you cry But I'm bound for the mountains and the sea Fare thee well, bound for the mountains and the sea
It's so hard to explain, why I'm leaving once again It ain't nothing that I haven't done before It ain't nothing much, I guess, but the thing I love the best Is rambling this land from shore to shore In this land, rambling this land from shore to shore
I have walked, I have bummed, I've rode buses, I've rode trains I've ridden a time or two in a silver plane When I think of where I've been, I just have to go again Just to see if everything is still the same In this land, see if everything is still the same
So fare well, my dear, and I must be on my way There's many a thing that I must do and see I'm a mighty restless man in a mighty restless land And I'm bound for the mountains and the sea Fare thee well, bound for the mountains and the sea
