Ballad of Geraldine |
| Oh, I was born with the name Geraldine |
| With hair coal black as a raven |
| I travelled my life without a care |
| Ah, but all my love I was savin' |
| Oh, the winds blew high and the trees did sway |
| Not much from life was I askin' |
| Till I met someone to give all my love |
| All my love, so long an' lasting |
| Oh, good were the parts we played in our game |
| And a long ways off was tomorrow |
| But my love was a rambler and restless as the sea |
| And in the tide came sorrow |
| Oh, a child of the night is goin' to be born |
| I can’t explain my confusion |
| Is my love thinkin' to marry me at all |
| Or of the freedom he thinks he’ll be losin'? |
| I sit with my friends in the gay crowded room |
| My friends they’re smokin' and a-talkin' |
| But it all seems so empty, my love is not there |
| So I’ll go into the streets a-walkin' |
| My baby is a-growin' as a-growin' it must |
| If I were to lose it, it would grieve me |
| My love is so helpless and I’m wonderin' what to do |
| Oh, how I yearn to help him |
| Oh, we could go to the land of your choice |
| Where the false shame won’t come knockin' at our door |
| I’ve a feeling in my heart and it’s crushing all my hopes |
| I think I’m gonna be hurt some more |
| Oh, I was born with the name Geraldine |
| With hair coal black as a raven |
| I travelled my life without a care |
| Ah, but all my love I was savin' |
