Well my furrows are filled with corn, I have my woman to keep me warm, But there's one thing that I do fear, The Eastern wind is getting near;
There's a shot gun beside my bed, This is my country, where I was born and bred, But I am sure, as the willow will grow, That Eastern wind is going to blow;
Blowing a hole in my life, Eastern wind, Running away with my life, Eastern wind;
There's a woman who reads the stars, She sees Warlords on the planet Mars, And she said "Boy, you'd better beware, That restless wind is getting near,
Blowing a hole in your life, Eastern wind, Running away with your life, Eastern wind..."
They are coming, they are coming, They are coming, look out!
In my dream, I saw a crowd, They were burning the palace down, I saw a mad old man, and I ran to the door, And then that wind began to roar,
And when they come, they'll find me here, I will not run, they will not see my fear, And I will fight to the very end, Before that wind will never bend,
If they're blowing a hole in my life, Eastern wind, Oh running away with my life, Eastern wind,
