Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey girl, oh how your love is strong
Weaves a tumblin' tearless song
Though you don't seem to care that your love is blind
You don't seem to care nor realize
[Verse 2]
Hey girl, oh how my heart is torn
Hey girl, now that your babe is born
What shall it cost?
Is my freedom lost?
What is the price of nature's own way
[Verse 3]
Hey girl, how could I dress your child?
When this life, gal, I'm livin' so wild
Will your newborn child grow to be as wild?
And to walk alone to meet his destiny
[Verse 4]
Hey girl, see how I stand a man
Hey girl, see I've no father's hand
Would it be a crime to leave at such a time?
When you've many claims to make on me
[Verse 5]
Hey girl, oh how your love is strong
Weave a tumblin' tearless song
Though you don't seem to care that your love is blind
You don't seem to care or realize
