[00:00.00]Ballad of Geraldine - Donovan
[00:11.15]Oh I was born with the name Geraldine
[00:18.83]With hair coal black as a raven
[00:25.89]I travelled my life without a care
[00:34.12]Ah but all my love I was savin'
[00:41.55]Oh the winds blew high
[00:43.74]And the trees did sway
[00:49.87]Not much from life was I askin'
[00:57.11]Till I met someone to give all my love
[01:05.17]All my love so long an' lasting
[01:12.55]Oh good were the parts
[01:14.82]We played in our game
[01:20.71]And a long ways off was tomorrow
[01:28.24]But my love was a rambler
[01:30.37]And restless as the sea
[01:36.38]And in the tide came sorrow
[01:43.50]Oh a child of the night
[01:45.63]Is goin' to be born
[01:51.65]I can't explain my confusion
[01:59.51]Is my love thinkin' to marry me at all
[02:06.90]Or of the freedom
[02:08.28]He thinks he'll be losin'
[02:14.25]I sit with my friends
[02:16.50]In the gay crowded room
[02:22.82]My friends they're smokin' and a-talkin'
[02:29.91]But it all seems so empty
[02:31.97]My love is not there
[02:37.41]So I'll go into the streets a-walkin'
[02:44.97]My baby is a-growin'
[02:46.41]As a-growin' it must
[02:52.96]If I were to lose it
[02:55.20]It would grieve me
[03:00.33]My love is so helpless
[03:02.40]And I'm wonderin' what to do
[03:08.71]Oh how I yearn to help him
[03:15.39]Oh we could go to
[03:17.65]The land of your choice
[03:23.53]Where the false shame won't
[03:25.21]Come knockin' at our door
[03:30.38]I've a feeling in my heart
[03:32.26]And it's crushing all my hopes
[03:38.51]I think I'm gonna be hurt some more
[03:56.28]Why I was born with the name Geraldine
[04:05.35]With hair coal black as a raven
[04:12.41]I travelled my life without a care
[04:20.35]Ah but all my love I was savin'
