Ah, the beautiful red-haired Madonna with child

Sat on the curb wearing a smile

That doubled up the years and trebled up the miles
F G F G C
And comforts the babe in the softest of style
Dm C
She woke up in San Francisco on the day she turned 16
Dm F G
Haight Street was something then, hey man, you should have seen
C F
And she took up with this drummer in some good time Texas scene
G F G C
And she loved him till the day they shipped him back home to Killeen
C B Am G
C Dm
She said she danced up in North Beach when the need arose
G C
She’s trying to start a little trade of making people clothes
F G C B Am G
To feed the child and pay the rent and everybody knows
F G F G C
She’s a little hard for 21, but that's the way she goes
Dm C
She's living on next to nothing and memories from the past
Dm F G
Just a fading flower child trying to make it last
C F
She’s got answers to some questions I would not dare to ask
G F G C
Survival’s never graceful when the changes come that fast
