Tumbling Tumbleweeds Songtext
von Emmylou Harris

The Sons of The Pioneers, were a group that sang back when I was a young boy
Probably 15-20 years ago and one of my favorite singing groups
I had real close harmony
Came from my part of the country
Here is the song they used to do Tumbling Tumbleweeds

See them tumbling down
Pledging their love to the ground
Lonely, but free, I′ll be found
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds

Cares of the past are behind
Nowhere to go, but I'll find
Just where the trail will wind
Drifting along with the tumblin′ tumbleweeds


I'm a roving cowboy
Riding all day long
Tumbleweeds around me
As I sing my song
Nights underneath the peary moon
I'll add a long singless tune

See them tumbling down
Pledging their love to the ground
Lonely, but free, I′ll be found
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds

I know when night is gone
That a new world′s born at dawn

I'll keep rolling along
Deep in my heart as a song
Here on the range I belong
Drifting along with a tumbling tumbleweed
Drifting along with a tumbling tumbleweed

We spend a lot of time away from home while working on the road and everything
