Wand'rin' Star

I'm still sorting through my photos from Vegas and will be posting them shortly. In the meantime, there's been a song playing repeatedly in my head for the past few hours that needs to be extracted. It's the Lee Marvin version of "Wand'rin' Star" from the Lerner and Loewe musical, Paint Your Wagon (one of my dad's favorite films1).

Mud can make you prisoner and the plains can bake you dry.
Snow can burn you eyes but only people make you cry.
Home is made for comin' from, for dreams of goin' to
Which, with any luck will never come true.
I was born under a wand'rin' star.
I was born under a wand'rin' star.

Do I know where hell is? Hell is in hello.
Heaven is "Goodbye forever. It's time for me to go."
I was born under a wand'rin' star.
A wand'rin', wand'rin' star.

1 In other words, I blame/credit him for first introducing the tune to me many years ago.
