Old folks told me you're not coming home Old folks told me gotta move along Like a ripe ol' fruit on a borrowed vine I hang around oh lord I hang around Eve stole the apple from the tree good lord I know she could be me I know she could be me Big brother told me I got something wrong Big brother told me sing a different song Like a tolling bell in its final hour I'll make a sound oh lord I'll make one sound Another man done gone he sang this song good lord I know he could be me I know he could be me 'Round the mountain there's another shore 'Round the corner there's another door Like a bleeding man on his native soil I'll stand my ground oh lord I'll stand my ground They nailed him to the cross for no sin good lord I know he could be me I know he could be me They nailed him to the cross Another man done gone Eve stole the apple from the tree good lord I know she could be me I know she could be me I know she could be me
