Aldonza - Joan Diener Richard Kiley[00:00:00]
My lady[00:00:01]
I am not your lady [00:00:02]
I am not any kind of a lady [00:00:04]
I was spawned in a ditch[00:00:09]
By a mother who left me there [00:00:13]
Naked and cold and too hungry to cry[00:00:16]
I never blamed her [00:00:22]
I'm sure she left hoping[00:00:24]
That I'd have the good sense to die [00:00:27]
Then of course there's my father[00:00:32]
I'm told that young ladies[00:00:35]
Can point to their fathers[00:00:37]
With maidenly pride;[00:00:40]
Mine was some regiment[00:00:43]
Here for an hour [00:00:46]
I can't even tell you which side [00:00:49]
So of course I became [00:00:54]
As befitted my delicate birth [00:00:56]
The most casual bride[00:01:02]
Of the murdering scum of the earth [00:01:05]
And still thou art my lady [00:01:09]
And still he torments me [00:01:10]
How should I be a lady [00:01:13]
For a lady has modest and maidenly airs [00:01:16]
And a virtue I somehow suspect that I lack;[00:01:21]
It's hard to remember these maidenly airs[00:01:26]
In a stable laid flat on your back [00:01:32]
Won't you look at me look at me [00:01:37]
God won't you look at me [00:01:40]
Look at the kitchen slat reeking with sweat [00:01:43]
Born on a dung heap to die on a dung heap [00:01:48]
A strumpet men use and forget [00:01:53]
If you feel that you see me[00:01:58]
Not quite at my virginal best [00:02:01]
Cross my palm with a coin [00:02:06]
And I'll willingly show you the rest [00:02:09]
Never deny thou art Dulcinea [00:02:13]
Take the clouds from your eyes[00:02:16]
And see me as I really am [00:02:17]
You have shown me the sky [00:02:20]
But what good is the sky[00:02:22]
To a creature who'll never[00:02:25]
Do better than crawl [00:02:28]
Of all the cruel bastards[00:02:31]
Who've badgered and battered me [00:02:33]
You are the cruelest of all [00:02:37]
Can't you see what your gentle[00:02:41]
Insanities do to me [00:02:44]
Rob me of anger and give me despair Blows and abuse[00:02:47]
I can take and give back again [00:02:54]
Tenderness I cannot bear [00:02:58]
So please torture me now[00:03:03]
With your "Sweet Dulcineas" no more [00:03:05]
I'm only Aldonza[00:03:10]
I know I'm nothing [00:03:14]
Now and forever thou art my lady Dulcinea[00:03:20]
