[Verse 1]
All my furrows are filled with corn
Oh there's my woman, she keeps me warm
But there's one thing, lord, that I fear
That Eastern wind is getting near
[Verse 2]
I got my shotgun beside my bed
This is my country, where I was born and bred
But I'll be sure that the willow will grow
Yeah, then this wind, it was beginning to roar
[Chorus]
If it is running away with my life, Eastern wind
Yeah, running away with my life, Eastern wind
[Verse 3]
There's a woman, she read in the stars
And she sees Warlords on the planet of Mars
She said, "Oh boy, won't you better bewarе
That Eastern wind it is getting near"
[Verse 4]
I havе my dreams, I saw the crowd
As they were burning the palace down
I saw a mad old man, as I ran to the door
Oh, then that wind, it was beginning to roar
[Chorus]
If it is running away with my life, Eastern wind
Yeah, running away with my life, Eastern wind
[Verse 5]
And when they come, they'll find me here
Yes I will stay, they will not see my fear
And I will fight until the very end
Unto this wind, I will never be bent
[Chorus]
If it is running away with my life, Eastern wind
Oh, blowing a hole in my life, Eastern wind
Yeah, taking the plough from my hands, Eastern wind
Oh, taking every bit of my land, Eastern wind
[Outro]
Yeah, Eastern wind
