That Mississippi farm wasn't much
but girl, it was a home for us.
Now we can never go back
because I heard it from the Judge.
He said: "Son, the people in the valley won't
have anything to do with you now".
So goodbye for the very last time
to the place we love somehow.
We can never go back to the garden of Eden.
Adam and Eve have sinned.
We can't go back again. Oh no no.
She was sixteen and I was a twenty-five.
For the first time in my life I really felt alive.
But we never should have done what we done when
we took that little run into town.
The Bank Teller made a wrong move
and I cut him down (gunshot).
We can never go back to the garden of Eden.
Adam and Eve have sinned.
We can't go back again. Oh no no no. Oh no no no.
From the getaway car to the hideout,
thinkin' 'bout the dyin' man.
And no matter how hard I washed
I couldn't get the stain offa my hands.
But Eve you were there beside me even though
the chips were down.
And I heard you cry out to me
as they took us back into the town.
We can never go back to the garden of Eden.
Adam and Eve have sinned.
We can't go back again. Oh no no no. Oh no no no.
Now this Louisiana farm they sent us to,
it 'aint like our home.
They got you workin' too hard
an' they got me bustin' up stone.
But I believe one day they'll pardon us
and we'll walk away.
And Eve I'll still love you then
although we'll be old and grey.
But we can never go back to the garden of Eden.
Adam and Eve have sinned.
We can't go back again. Oh no no.
You were sixteen and I was a twenty-five.
For the first time in my life I really felt alive.
But we never should have done what we done
when we took that little run into town.
The Bank Teller made a wrong move
and we cut him down (gunshot).
We can never go back to the garden of Eden.
Adam and Eve have
