Bill Brandon - Rainbow Road

I was born a poor poor man

All my life I had hard workin' hands

But I sang my song as I carried my load

'Cause I had a dream about rainbow, rainbow road

And then one day my chance came along

A man heard me singing, and playing my songs

He bought me fine clothes, paid the money I owed

Sent me on my way to rainbow, rainbow road

And then one night a man with a knife

Forced me to take his life

Though I pleaded with him so desperately

The judge showed no mercy when he passed his sentence on me

Now as I pull these ball and chain

wearing this number for my name

dreams like me have all grown old

but I still dream about that rainbow, rainbow road, rainbow road,

I still dream about that rainbow road, rainbow road
