I've been wandering east of Eden Been lost, cold, lonesome as a sparrow in the rain I found myself tumbling to a sinking feeling When someone said I done gone wrong, Couldn't feel no shame
I'll be leaving town on the very next train You can wait for me little girl, But I won't be coming this way again And it ain't nobody's business if I do
There's a slow train rumblin' east of a place called Eden Ah, the wind blowin' in proud as the trees upon the plain And a stranger's voice talked to me Of liberty and freedom It seems like he done gone wrong again And he wears the hat like shame
Well he tasted the fruit of another And when his (???) when she discovered Said she's gonna love him ten times more Ain't nobody's business if she do
He said 'some men born rich, some men born poor, But they're rich in other ways' Into my heart his wisdom poured
It's no good crumblin, I'm making tracks to live When I laid my love down in the light You should've seen all the things my shadow did
The filth and the fury, the fear and the pain It's all disappearing now Faster than the smoke from this old train And it ain't nobody's business if it do (One more time) Ain't nobody's business if it do
