Patience      I wasn't born a fisherman   and I wasn't born a schoolgirl   and I wasn't born a tree of leaves   and I wasn't born o lordy lord   cause I was a bold and tireless worker      and I wasn't born an indian   and I wasn't born arabian   and I wasn't born a man with a dream to just let it falter      and I wasn't born o! a welldigger   and I wasn't born o! a fleshy thing   and I wasn't born a thing to be scorned   a thing to be ignored      and I will align myself with nothing   and I will enjoin my heart with no-one's   cause I was untried   when I was applied the light of birth      and I wasn't born o! to tell the truth   and I wasn't born o! to sleep with ruth   we're miles apart   and I have no heart for weeks between coupling   well, i could bide my time with girls that live in town   with those who seem always to be hangeing around   but it would not seem right to pass the night   with one not my true love      and I will align myself with nothing   and I will enjoin my heart with no-one's   cause I was untried   when I was applied the light of birth
