Well she made me sit down with the doctor
To try to make sense of my mind
She never knew all the sense that the doctor would find
So I cried as I finally left her
And married a dutch woman’s child
Try as I might couldn’t live with the ways of the wild

Got myself an eastern woman
Fires burning deep inside
Got myself an eastern woman’s eye
So I read the armenian’s letter
Said she came close to the end
I headed south never knowing what was to begin
And I know that I never can leave her

She found her way to my soul
Handed my heart to that girl of the night at the door
Got myself an eastern woman
Fires burning deep inside
Got myself an eastern woman’s eye
