Jennie, John and Sister Suzie
Say that I've been bad
Now I don't know what they're talkin' about
But their daddy sure is mad

I can't understand it
Why they're getting so uptight
I don't think I'll stick around here
I ain't lookin' for a fight

Wild winds are blowin'
Rivers keep on flowin'
So I'd better get going
And try to leave it all behind
Wild winds are blowin'
Rivers keep on flowin'
So I'd better get going yeh
To get a little peace of mind

Her brother keeps on callin' 'round
To see what I intend
But I ain't never in when he calls
It's sad to lose a friend

I bought myself a ticket
But I don't wanna leave this town
And there's a lot of people right here
Who don't want me around
Wild winds are blowin'
Rivers keep on flowin'
So I'd better get going
And try to leave it all behind
Wild winds are blowin'
Rivers keep on flowin'
So I'd better get going yeh
To get a little peace of mind

I heared her uncle Sammy
He's a polishin' his gun
I don't like the look on his face
So I think I'd better run

I better get on a greyhound bus
Before her folks arrive
'Cause I am just a young man
And I wanna stay alive

Wild winds are blowin'
Rivers keep on flowin'
So I'd better get going
And try to leave it all behind
Wild winds are blowin'
Rivers keep on flowin'
So I'd better get going yeh
To get a little peace of mind
Wild winds are blowin' yeh
Wild winds are blowin' yeh
Wild winds are blowin' yeh
Wild winds are blowin' yeh
