1
I wasn't born a fisherman
2
And I wasn't born a schoolgirl
3
And I wasn't born a tree of leaves
4
And I wasn't born o lordy lord
5
Cause I was a bold and tireless worker
6
And I wasn't born an indian
7
And I wasn't born arabian
8
And I wasn't born a man with a dream to just let it falter
9
And I wasn't born o! a welldigger
10
And I wasn't born o! a fleshy thing
11
And I wasn't born a thing to be scorned, a thing to be ignored
12
And I will align myself with nothing
13
And I will enjoin my heart with no-one's
14
Cause I was untried when I was applied
15
The light of birth
16
And I wasn't born o! to tell the truth
17
And I wasn't born o! to sleep with ruth
18
We're miles apart and I have no heart for weeks between coupling
19
Well, I could bide my time with girls that live in town
20
Those who seem always to be hangeing around
21
But it would not seem right to pass the night with one not my true love
22
And I will align myself with nothing
23
And I will enjoin my heart with no-one's
24
Cause I was untried when I was applied
25
The light of birth
