Madonna With Child Nineteen Sixty Nine
Oh, the beautiful red-haired Madonna with child Sat on the curb wearin' a smile That doubled up the years and trebled the miles And comforts the babe in the softest of style
She woke up in San Francisco on the day she turned 16 Haight St. was somethin' then, hey man you should have seen And she took up with this drummer in some good time Texas scene And she loved him till the day they shipped him back home to Killeen
She said she danced up in North Beach when the need arose She's tryin' to start a little trade of makin' people clothes To feed the child and pay the rent and everybody knows Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com She's a little hard for 21, that's the way she goes
She's livin' on next to nothin' and memories from the past Just a fading flower child tryin' to make it last She's got answers to some questions I would not dare to ask Survival's never graceful when the changes come that fast
Oh, the beautiful red-haired Madonna with child Sat on the curb wearin' a smile That doubled up the years, trebled the miles Comforts the babe in the softest of style
