Baby don't fall in love with me

I'll only bring you grief

Baby, don't set your heart on me

I'll only have to leave



'Cause the north wind flows through my veins

Like my dad there's a dream in my brain

In the morning I'll have to leave again

That's how it is when you inherit the wind

Inherit the wind



Daddy, he was a traveling man

I hardly knew his face

Momma, she cried for him at night

He never stayed in one place



'Cause the north wind flows through my veins

Like my dad there's a dream in my brain

In the morning I'll have to leave again

That's how it is when you inherit the wind

Inherit the wind



Oh I can't give you the love you need

I just won't be here that long

But if you still want me here tonight

I'll love you till the break of dawn



'Cause the north wind flows through my veins

Like my dad there's a dream in my brain

In the morning I'll have to leave again

That's how it is when you inherit the wind

Inherit the wind

Inherit the wind, inherit the wind
