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 Margie, 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
