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
