Camelot: The Simple Joys of Maidenhood 歌詞
The Simple Joys of Maidenhood - Julie Andrews/Original Broadway Cast of Camelot
Written by：Frederick Loewe/Alan Jay Lerner/Goddard Lieberson
Saint Geneiveve Saint Geneiveve
It's Guinivere remember me
Saint Geneiveve Saint Geneiveve
I'm over here beneath this tree
You know how faithful and devote I am
You must admit I have always been a lamb
But Geneiveive Saint Geneiveve
I won't obey you any more
You've gone a bit too far
I won't be bid and bargained for
Like beads in a bazarre
Saint Geneiveve I've run away
Eluded them and fled
And from now on I intend to pray on some
One else instead
Oh Geneiveve Saint Geneiveve
Where were you when my youth was sold
Dear Geneiveve sweet Geneiveve
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
He leaps to death in woe for me
Oh where are a maiden's simple joys
Shan't I have the 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 off 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
