Cora

Oh Cora, oh Cora
I never knew your head
Cora for that matter
I never shared your bed
Cora, oh Cora
It wasn't lightly said
But living in two cultures
Our lives were truly led
Seeing folks flag waving was our torture
Pigeon holes and theories hard on our trails
I used mine as a bedspread forever no further
Believe in any more integrity fails
Oh Cora, oh Cora
I never knew your head
Cora for that matter
I never shared your bed
Cora, oh Cora
It wasn't lightly said
But living in two cultures
Our lives were truly led
The sadness in my hears as I was leaving
Was maybe that I might not understand
Distance playing host to disbelieving
I must have never seen you in my hand
Oh Cora, oh Cora
I never knew your head
Cora for that matter
I never shared your bed
Cora, oh Cora
It wasn't lightly said
But living in two cultures
Our lives were truly led '
