Oh,
I was born with the name Geraldine
With hair cold black as a raven
I traveled my life without a care
How but all my love I was saving
For the winds blew high and the trees did sway
Not much from life was I asking
Till I met someone to give all my love
All my love so long and lasting
All good were the parts we played in our game
The long ways off was tomorrow
But my love was a rambler and as restless
as the sea And in the tide came sorrow
Oh, a child of the night is gone to be born
I can't explain my confusion
Is my love thinking to marry me at all?
Or of the freedom he thinks he'll be losing?
I sit with my friends in the gay crowded rooms
My friends they're smoking and talking
But it all seems so empty, my love is not there
So I'll go into the streets walking My
baby is a growing as a growing it must
If I were to lose it, it would grieve me
My love is so helpless and I'm wondering 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 knocking
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 a name Geraldine
With hair cold black as a raven
I traveled my life without a care
But all my love I was saving
