I was born a dirt poor man

All my life i've had hard working hands

But i sang my song as i carried my load

Cause i had a dream about rainbow

Rainbow road



Then one day a man came along

Heard me playing and singing my songs

He bought me clothes and paid up every debt i owed

Sent me on my way down rainbow

Rainbow road



Then one night a man with a knife

Pushed me till i had to take his life

Fast as falling all my friends were gone

That old judge traded me a sentence for a song



Now i'm living with this ball and chain

I had to wear a number before they ever heard my name

And like the dream i'm growing old

But we still sing about rainbow

Rainbow road
