Out on the river the wild rice is high
But I'm not one to pick it, I'll just float right on by
Now all the dogs are howlin' at the moon
I think that I'll be headin' south real soon
North Minnesota has surely got its charms
But at harvest time I miss them golden Iowa farms
I guess I just got travelin' in my shoes
Mmm I think I'll head down south, and make some news
Look out below, here I come, I'm fallin' like a tree
Ready or not, here I come, with my banjo on my knee
All my friends have scattered on a sudden breeze
Some are in the Cities, some out west and some out east
And me I'm just a feather in the air
Oh, I'm movin' with the wind most anywhere
Look out below, here I come, I'm fallin' like a tree
Ready or not, here I come, with my banjo on my knee
Look out below, here I come, I'm fallin' like a tree
Ready or not, here I come, with my banjo on my knee
