| 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 savin'. | |
| Oh, the winds blew high and the trees did sway, | |
| Not much from life was I askin'. | |
| 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 goin' to be born, | |
| I can't explain my confusion. | |
| Is my love thinkin' 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 smokin' and a-talkin'. | |
| But it all seems so empty, my love is not there, | |
| So I'll go into the streets a-walkin'. | |
| My baby is a-growin' as a-growin' it must, | |
| If I were to lose it, it would grieve me. | |
| My love is so helpless and I'm wonderin' 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 knockin' 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 savin'. |
