No Other Name
(Peter Paul & Mary)
Know me by the light of a fire shinin' bright,
Know me by your bed where I've lain . Know
me, and you might, if just for a night, You'll
know me by no other name .
Some girls will bring you silver, Some will
bring you fine Spanish lace. Some will say, "I
love you." And some will have my face.
Some will bring you gold, a baby to hold, I
bring you only pain . You can know me, if
you will, by the wind on the hill, You'll know
me by no other name .
Some girls will die for money, Some will die as
they're born. Some will swear they'd die for
love, Some die every morn.
I'll die alone, away from my home. Nobody knows
where I came . The stone at my head will say
I am dead, It knows me by no other name. It
knows me by no other name.
