Double Business Bound
I’m going nowhere you won’t find me
I’m double business bound
Trouble before and behind me
And my clock is winding down
I’m doing my best to reach that shore
But I gotta go the long way ‘round
Oh, please remember me kindly
I’m double business bound
My little wagon is loaded
My pony’s had a good feed of hay
I’m counting on the night to be clouded
So no one can see my way
Oh, moon, hide your face, you don’t want to know
My enemies are all around
To my fate I’m solemnly wedded
And I’m double business bound
Some have thought me a wise man
Some have thought me a fool
Some might say I’m a kind man
Some might say I’ve been cruel
Oh, I cannot say why I’ve done what I’ve done
Soon the walls will come tumbling down
In the cove the black ships are sleeping
And I’m double business bound
I’ll see you one day on the fiery shore
It’s for you this song I lay down
Remember that I always love you
Though I’m double business bound
I’m praying to heaven above you
Oh, I’m double business bound
