Bert Jansch - Oh My Babe

Oh my baby, oh my babe
Oh my baby, oh my babe
Oh my baby, oh my babe
The words of sorrow
Fill the air
Haunt the path
That I walk

Oh my baby, oh my babe
Oh my baby dressed in black
My freedom is the pain of
Lovers lost in dreams
I won't accept
Such pain that's born
And loves a million magic times

Oh my baby, oh my babe
Oh my baby dressed in red
Follow where my footsteps mark
The endless path
Into a maze
Of twisted dreams set
Within my broken heart

Oh my baby, oh my babe
Oh my baby, dressed in white
Who shall repair
The broken pieces of my heart?
Not even I can find
A remedy that cures a troubled mind

Oh my baby, oh my babe
Oh my baby, dressed in blue
There's a story of a sleeping sea
That never rests
A tale of desert slowly drifting
Ever silent to the sun

Oh my baby, oh my babe
Oh my baby, oh my babe
Oh my baby, don't you know?
I'm a-living with the wind
With the wind and rain
Got the waters of the
Rivers in my veins, in my vein
