Peter, Paul And Mary - Geraldine & Ruthie Mae lyrics

Geraldine & Ruthie Mae They'll be cruising Main today Through the alleys, the bi-ways Down by the dumpsters They might find a bite to eat And a place to rest their feet It seems to take all the strength That they can muster No one ought to live like that When their voice grows frail and thin Hiding in the shadows at night Counting hours 'til its light This winters been a hard one Lots of snow and no sun Old legs hurt and it's hard To keep on moving It's the fourth winter that they've fought Each other is all they've got They walk the streets all day No one sees them No one ought to live like that When their voice grows frail and thin Hiding in the shadows at night Counting hours 'til its light Geraldine and Ruthie Mae Going crazier every day In a city moving full speed All around them With their bundles and their bags Their trinkets and their rags They walk the streets all day But no one sees them Geraldine and Ruthie Mae
