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
