Patience |
| I wasn’t born a fisherman |
| And I wasn’t born a schoolgirl |
| And I wasn’t born a tree of leaves |
| And I wasn’t born o lordy lord |
| Cause I was a bold and tireless worker |
| And I wasn’t born an indian |
| And I wasn’t born arabian |
| And I wasn’t born a man with a dream to just let it falter |
| And I wasn’t born o! |
| A welldigger |
| And I wasn’t born o! |
| A fleshy thing |
| And I wasn’t born a thing to be scorned |
| A thing to be ignored |
| And I will align myself with nothing |
| And I will enjoin my heart with no-one's |
| Cause I was untried |
| When I was applied the light of birth |
| And I wasn’t born o! |
| To tell the truth |
| And I wasn’t born o! |
| To sleep with ruth |
| We’re miles apart |
| And I have no heart for weeks between coupling |
| Well, I could bide my time with girls that live in town |
| With those who seem always to be hangeing around |
| But it would not seem right to pass the night |
| With one not my true love |
| And I will align myself with nothing |
| And I will enjoin my heart with no-one's |
| Cause I was untried |
| When I was applied the light of birth |
