The Simple Joys Of Maidenhood Lyrics

Saint Genevieve, Saint Genevieve
It's Guinevere, remember me?
Saint Genevieve, Saint Genevieve
I'm over here beneath this tree!

You know how faithful and devout I am
You must admit I've been a lamb

But Genevieve, Saint Genevieve
I won't obey you anymore
You've gone a bit to far
I won't be bid and bargained for
Like beads in a bazaar
Saint Genevieve, I've run away
Eluded them and fled
And from now on I intend to pray
To someone else instead!

Oh Genevieve, Saint Genevieve
Where were you when my youth was sold?
Dear Genevieve, Sweet Genevieve
Shan't I be young before I'm old?

Where are the simple joys of maidenhood?

Where are all those adoring daring boys?

Where's the knight pining so for me
Camalot - The Simple Joys Of Maidenhood - http://motolyrics.com/camalot/the-simple-joys-of-maidenhood-lyrics.html
He leaps to death in woe for me?

Oh where are a maiden's simple joys?

Shan't I have a normal life a maiden should?

Shall I never be rescued in the wood?

Shall two knights never tilt for me

And let their blood be spilt for me?

Oh where are the simple joys of maidenhood?

Shall I not be on a pedestal?

Worshipped and competed for?

Not be carried of, or better still,

Cause a little war?

Where are the simple joys of maidenhood?
Are those sweet,gentle pleasures gone for good?
Shall a feud not begin for me?
Shall kith not kill their kin for me?
Oh, where are the trivial joys,
Harmless, convivial joys
Where are the simple joys of maidenhood?
