Till I met someone to give all my love
So I'll go into the streets a-walkin'
I can't explain my confusion
I think, I'm gonna be hurt some more
My baby is a-growin' as a-growin' it must
My love is so helpless and I'm wonderin' what to do
I've a feelin' in my heart and it's crushin' all my hopes
Or of the freedom he thinks he'll be losin'?
My friends, they're smokin' and they're talkin'
Oh, I was born with the name Geraldine
Where the false shame won't come knockin' at our door
Oh, how I yearn to help him
Ah, but all my love I was savin'
And in the tide came sorrow
I sit with my friends in the gay crowded room
I traveled my life without a care
Oh, the winds blew high and the trees did sway
All my love, so long an' lastin'
But it all seems so empty, my love is not there
But my love was a rambler and as restless as the sea
Oh, a child of the night is goin' to be born
Not much from life was I askin'
And a long ways off was tomorrow
Is my love thinkin' to marry me at all?
Oh, we could go to the land of your choice
I traveled my life without a care
With hair coal black as a raven
If I were to lose it, it would grieve me
Oh, good were the parts, we played in our game
