John Denver - Berkeley Woman Lyrics
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the farewell andromeda album, and has also been released on the john denver album.I saw a berkley womanSittin in her rockin chairA dulcimer in her lapA feather in her hairHer breasts swayed freelyWith the rhythm of the rockin chairShe was a-sittin and a-singin and a-swayinHer cheeks were red I declareTwas hard to believeWhat my eyes showed me thenThe colour in her cheeksWas just her natural skinShe wore no makeupTo make her look that wayShe was a natural mama with the red cheeksWhat more can I sayWell I finally realisedThere was hunger in my stareIn my mind I was swayinWith the woman in the rockin chairBut the lady I was livin withWas standin right by my sideShe saw my stare and she saw my hungerAnd lord it made her crySo with anger on her faceYes and the hurt in her eyesShe scratched me and she clawed meShe screamed and she criedoh you dont give me nearAll the lovin that you shouldYet youre ready to go and lay with herYoure just no damn goodWell I guess shes probably rightOh I guess Im probably wrongI guess shes not too far awayShe hasnt been gone very longAnd I guess we could get togetherAnd try it one more timeBut I know that wanderlust would come againShed only wind up a-cryinWell now youve heard my storyPlain as the light of dayIts hard to feel guilty for lovin the ladiesThats all I gotta saycept a woman is the sweetest fruitThat God ever put on the vineId no more love just one kinda womanThan drink only one kinda wineWords and music by bryan bowers
