Cordelia Brown Lyrics - Harry Belafonte

Oh, Cordelia Brown, although' you never tell, 

Oh, Cordelia Brown, still I know your secret well 

Yes you fell in love with Ned 

And when he left, your head turned red 

And right well you know, 

That what I say is true 

Oh, Cordelia Brown, what make your head so red 

Oh, Cordelia Brown, what make your head so red 

You say you come out in the sunshine 

With nothing on your head 

Oh, Cordelia Brown, what make your head so red

Oh, Cordelia Brown, yes I've been far and wide 

Now I'm telling you, every girl wants to be a bride 

So I know what happen to you 

And please strike me down if it isn't true 

He said he never would wed, 

And that when your head turned red 

Oh, Cordelia Brown, what make your head so red 

Oh, Cordelia Brown, what make your head so red 

You say you come out in the sunshine 

With nothing on your head 

Oh, Cordelia Brown, what make your head so red 

Oh, Cordelia Brown, Saw you waiting' at the train, 

Yes, he's gone away, might never return again 

Now miss Brown may I confess, 

I've yearned this long for your caress 

Since your head so red 

I think I'll marry Mabel instead
