# Arthur Alexander - Rainbow Road

      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
