Ballad Of Geraldine

Ballad Of Geraldine

(album: Fairytale - 1965)

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 saving.
Oh, 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 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 going 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 losin'?
I sit with my friends in the gay crowded room,
My friends they're smoking and a-talking.
But it all seems so empty, my love is not there,
So I'll go into the streets a-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 the name Geraldine,
With hair coal black as a raven.
I travelled my life without a care,
Ah, but all my love I was saving.
