about
Wild Wind Blowing is a tune I wrote a few years ago after reading Norman Mailer's Executioner's Song.
The recited passage is an excerpt from the book.
lyrics
Judge he wants my life
Jury wants it, too
Law they want to take my life
Wild wind blowing
I stood before the judge
Said he’d take my life
I said, “You can have it, judge”
Wild wind blowing, baby
Wild wind blowing, baby
Wild wind blowing, baby
Wild wind blow
Wild wind blow
Wild wind blowing, baby
Wild wind blow
Heard my mama call
(2x)
Spent my life in jail
No one gave a damn
Now that I’m almost gone’s
A wild wind blowing
Folks they trying to save me
Others do me in
Pickin’ me apart like buzzards, baby
Wild wind blowing
Wild wind blowing, baby
Wild wind blowing, baby
Wild wind blow
Chorus: (2x)
Jail it took my life away
Judge he took the rest
Said before he was through
He’d put four in my chest
People keep on talkin’, now
Wild wind blowing, baby
There lips keep on movin’, baby
Wild wind blowing, baby
Chorus and repeat until fade
