This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the farewell andromeda album, and has also been released on the john denver album.





I saw a berkley woman

Sittin' in her rockin' chair

A dulcimer in her lap

A feather in her hair

Her breasts swayed freely

With the rhythm of the rockin' chair

She was a-sittin' and a-singin' and a-swayin'

Her cheeks were red i declare



Twas hard to believe

What my eyes showed me then

The colour in her cheeks

Was just her natural skin

She wore no makeup

To make her look that way

She was a natural mama with the red cheeks

What more can i say



Well i finally realised

There was hunger in my stare

In my mind i was swayin'

With the woman in the rockin' chair

But the lady i was livin' with

Was standin' right by my side

She saw my stare and she saw my hunger

And lord it made her cry

So with anger on her face

Yes and the hurt in her eyes

She scratched me and she clawed me

She screamed and she cried
