Madonna w/Child ca. 1969 |
Oh, the beautiful red-haired Madonna with child |
Sat on the curb wearin' a smile |
That doubled up the years and trebled the miles |
And comforts the babe in the softest of style |
She woke up in San Francisco on the day she turned 16 |
Haight St. was somethin' then, hey man you should have seen |
And she took up with this drummer in some good time Texas scene |
And she loved him till the day they shipped him back home to Killeen |
She said she danced up in North Beach when the need arose |
She’s tryin' to start a little trade of makin' people clothes |
To feed the child and pay the rent and everybody knows |
She’s a little hard for 21, that’s the way she goes |
She’s livin' on next to nothin' and memories from the past |
Just a fading flower child tryin' to make it last |
She’s got answers to some questions I would not dare to ask |
Survival’s never graceful when the changes come that fast |
Oh, the beautiful red-haired Madonna with child |
Sat on the curb wearin' a smile |
That doubled up the years, trebled the miles |
Comforts the babe in the softest of style |
