A Lonely Woman
Bob A. Feldman
An antiwar movement protest folk song from the late 1970s about a lonely woman who was active in the 1960s and 1970s U.S. antiwar Movement.
"Oh, I am a lonely woman
I sleep at night alone
My lover, he has left me
Because he wished to roam;
I kissed him in my trip room
Many years ago
We ate just jam and bread
And lived on love alone.
"We spent our days avoiding
The arm of the F.B.I.
We dropped a lot of acid
And always we were high;
While others went to college
And tried to desert the Cause
My lover, he was faithful
And we roamed around in cars.
"I am a lonely woman
And I wish to settle down
My lover, he has left me,
And now I am alone;
He did not want a child
To father in his old age
So I must find another
Now that my hair is gray."
