Donovan - 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
