I've been wandering East of Eden I've lost, cold and lonesome As a sparrow in the rain Find myself tumbling To a sinking feeling Someone said I'd done gone wrong Couldn't feel no shame I'll be, leaving town On the very next train Come with me little girl But I won't be coming, back again now It ain't nobody's business if I do There's a slow train rumbling East of a place called Eden Feeling windblown and proud As the trees upon the plain Stranger's voice talked to me Of liberty and freedom Says he done all wrong again And wears a hat like shame Well he tasted the fruit of another
And when his Margie, when she discovered Said she's gonna love him ten times more Ain't nobody's business if she do (Eh What did he say to yer?) Said, 'Some men born rich, some men born poor' 'But they're rich in other ways' and into my heart this wisdom poured It's no good crumbling, make tracks to live! Well 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
