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' |
