Ballad Of Geraldine

Oh, I was born with the name Geraldine

With hair coal black as a raven

I traveled 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' lastin'Oh, good were the parts, we played in our game

And a long ways off was tomorrow

But my love was a rambler and as restless as the sea

And in the tide came sorrowOh, 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 they're 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 himOh, we could go to the land of your choice

Where the false shame won't come knockin' at our door

I've a feelin' in my heart and it's crushin' all my hopes

I think, I'm gonna be hurt some moreOh, I was born with the name Geraldine

With hair coal black as a raven

I traveled my life without a care

Ah, but all my love I was savin'
