| Saint Genevieve, Saint Genevieve
|
| It’s Guinevere, remember me?
|
| Saint Genevieve, Saint Genevieve
|
| I’m over here beneath this tree!
|
| You know how faithful and devout I am
|
| You must admit I’ve always been a lamb
|
| But Genevieve, Saint Genevieve
|
| I won’t obey you anymore
|
| You’ve gone a bit too far
|
| I won’t be bid and bargained for
|
| Like beads at a bazaar
|
| Saint Genevieve, I’ve run away
|
| Eluded them and fled
|
| And from now on I intend to pray
|
| To someone else instead!
|
| Oh, Genevieve, Saint Genevieve
|
| Where were you when my youth was sold?
|
| Dear Genevieve, Sweet Genevieve
|
| Shan’t I be young before I’m old?
|
| Where are the simple joys of maidenhood?
|
| Where are all those adoring daring boys?
|
| Where’s the knight pining so for me
|
| He leaps to death in woe for me?
|
| Oh where are a maiden’s simple joys?
|
| Shan’t I have the normal life a maiden should?
|
| Shall I never be rescued in the wood?
|
| Shall two knights never tilt for me
|
| And let their blood be spilt for me?
|
| Oh where are the simple joys of maidenhood?
|
| Shall I not be on a pedestal
|
| Worshipped and competed for?
|
| Not be carried off, or better still
|
| Cause a little war?
|
| Where are the simple joys of maidenhood?
|
| Are these sweet, gentle pleasures gone for good?
|
| Shall a feud not begin for me?
|
| Shall kith not kill their kin for me?
|
| Oh, where are the trivial joys
|
| Harmless, convivial joys
|
| Where are the simple joys of maidenhood? |
