berkeley woman

Singer:denver, john

i saw a berkeley woman sitting in a rocking chair. a dulcimer in her lap

feather in her hair. her breasts swayed freely with the rhythm of the rocking chair

she was a sitting and a singing and a swaying

her cheeks were red i declare. 'twas hard to believe what my eyes showed me then

the color in her cheeks was just her natural skin. she wore no makeup to make her look that way. she was a natural mama with the red cheeks

what more can i say?

well

i finally realized there was hunger in my stare. in my mind i was swaying with the woman in the rocking chair. but the lady i was living with was standing right by my side

she saw my stare and she saw the hunger and lord

it made her cry. so with anger on her face

yes and hurt in her eyes

she scratched me and she clawed me

she screamed and she cried

oh
