Lyrics
I once loved a beautiful lady
I prayed she'd always be mine
but she was like a ghost on the water
that haunts me until the day that I die
Like Adam and Eve
sittin' in the Garden of Eden
it's always a matter of time
before along comes temptation
get thee Devil behind
I once knew a friend from back home
he said that he knew a guy
with a bargain, my soul for a contract
and I said 'tell me, where do I sign?'
Just like Adam and Eve
livin' in the Garden of Eden
it's always been a matter of time
before along comes temptation
get thee Devil behind
But I wish that I could go back home
and sit in the garden of mine
where I'd be ever so happy
with no more pain on my mind
I once dreamed of having great riches
fortune and fame would someday be mine
but I've learned that while others may prosper
I lose everytime
Like Adam and Eve
livin' in the Garden of Eden
it's just a matter of time
before along comes temptation
get thee Devil behind
