Oh,

I

was

born

with

the

name

Ge-

ral-

dine

With

hair

coal

black

as

a

ra-

ven.

I

tra-

velled

my

life

with-

out

a

care,

Ah,

but

all

my

love

I

was

sa-

vin'.

Oh,

the

winds

blew

high

and

the

trees

did

sway,

Not

much

from

life

was

I

as-

kin'.

Till

I

met

some-

one

to

give

all

my

love,

All

my

love,

so

lo-

ng

an'

las-

ting.

Oh,

good

were

the

parts

we

played

in

our

game

And

a

long

ways

off

was

to-

mor-

row.

But

my

love

was

a

ramb-

ler

and

rest-

less

as

the

sea,

And

in

the

ti-

de

came

sor-

row.

Oh,

a

child

of

the

night

is

goin'

to

be

born,

I

can't

ex-

pla-

in

my

con-

fu-

sion.

Is

my

love

thin-

kin'

to

mar-

ry

me

at

all

Or

of

the

free-

dom

he

thinks

he'll

be

lo-

sin'?

I

sit

with

my

friends

in

the

gay

crow-

ded

room,

My

friends

they're

smo-

kin'

and

a-

tal-

kin'.

But

it

all

seems

so

emp-

ty,

my

love

is

not

there,

So

I'll

go

in-

to

the

stre-

ets

a-

wal-

kin'.

My

ba-

by

is

a-

gro-

win'

as

a-

gro-

win'

it

must,

If

I

were

to

lose

it,

it

would

grieve

me.

My

love

is

so

helpless

and

I'm

wonde-

rin'

what

to

do.

Oh,

how

I

ye-

arn

to

help

him.

Oh,

we

could

go

to

the

land

of

your

choice

Where

the

false

shame

won't

come

kno-

ckin'

at

our

do-

or.

I've

a

feeling

in

my

heart

and

it's

cru-

shing

all

my

hopes,

I

think

I'm

gon-

na

be

hurt

some

mo-

re,

Oh,

I

was

born

with

the

name

Ge-

ral-

dine

With

hair

coal

black

as

a

ra-

ven.

I

tra-

velled

my

life

with-

out

a

care,

Ah,

but

all

my

lo-

ve

I

was

sa-

vin'.
