Version 1 of the lyrics

1  Oh, I was born with the name Geraldine   From                     the album fairytale 1
1  With hair coal black as a raven   1
2  I traveled my life without a care   2
3  Ah, but all my love I was savin'   3
4   4
5  Oh, the winds blew high and the trees did sway   5
6  Not much from life was I askin'   6
7  Till I met someone to give all my love   7
8  All my love, so long an' lastin'   8
9   9
10  Oh, good were the parts, we played in our game   10
11  And a long ways off was tomorrow   11
12  But my love was a rambler and as restless as the sea   12
13  And in the tide came sorrow   13
      
2  Oh, a child of       the night is goin' to be born   Oh, I was born with the name Geraldine                      2
3  I can't explain my confusion              With hair coal black as a raven. 3

  Or of the freedom he thinks he'll be losin'?  Or of the freedom he thinks he'll be losin'?
5                                                             I sit with my friends in the gay crowded room, 5
6  I sit with my friends in the gay crowded room   My                friends they're smokin' and a-talkin'.       6
7  My friends, they're smokin' and they're talkin'                          But it all seems so empty, my love is not there, 7
8  But it all seems so empty, my love is not there   So I'll go into the streets a-walkin'.                       8
9  So I'll go into the streets a-walkin'          My baby is a-growin' as a-growin' it must, 9

11  My baby is a-growin' as a-growin' it must                  My love is so helpless and I'm wonderin' what to do. 11
12  If      I were to lose it, it would grieve me   Oh, how I yearn to help him.                        12
14  My love is so helpless and I'm wonderin' what to do   14
15  Oh, how I yearn to help him   15

  Oh, we could go to the land of your choice  Oh, we could go to the land of your choice
13  Where the false shame won't come knockin' at our door   Where the false shame won't come knockin' at our door. 13
14  I've a feelin' in my heart and it's crushin' all my hopes   I've a feeling in my heart and it's crushing all my hopes, 14
15  I think, I'm gonna be hurt some more   I think I'm gonna be hurt some more, 15
16                                                    Oh, I was born with the name Geraldine, 16
17  Oh, I was born with the name Geraldine   With hair coal black as a raven.            17
18  With hair coal black as a raven   I travelled my life without a care, 18
