(Words and Music by Joan Baez)
2
Luba, it was only the finest wine
3
Means or no means
4
Only the finest place to dine
5
Paris in the sixties
6
You had three sons
7
Handsome husband by your side
8
I flirted with everyone
9
Your husband, aging but vain
10
With the ladies was quite renowned
11
Author of books made famous
12
On his years in the French Underground
13
But you, Luba, the Baroness
14
It was really your blue blood
15
No one could touch you with kid gloves
16
And no one ever should
17
And the hands of little Julian
18
Will guide you well
19
Et le pere du petit Sebastian
20
Vous attend dans le ceil
21
The youngest son Jerome
22
Brighter than he could be
23
Preferred the darkened corners
24
And was even a little too young for me
25
Tall and shy and crafty
26
He was oh so scholarly then
27
Got married later on
28
Had a child by the name of Julian
29
The eldest Jean Francoise
30
What a mixture of sweetness and snobbery
31
Milkfed by his mother
32
On Russian aristocracy
33
With wits like sabre through silk
34
He was the wisest one
35
Married and remarried
36
Had a child by the name of Sebastian
37
And the hands of little Julian
38
Will guide you well
39
Et le pere du petit Sebastian
40
Vous attend dans le ceil
41
Ah my sweet Christophe
42
You were only seventeen
43
First family dinners with the gypsies
44
Finger chimes and tambourines
45
With candlelit eyes of experience
46
Oh how you laughed at me
47
As I became rapidly foolish
48
Under your gaze and on red burgundy
49
In sixty-nine your father died
50
I saw you in the years between
51
Handsome, impetuous son of the rich
52
Taking care of your mother, the queen
53
And you are married now as well
54
It was inevitable
55
Three day wedding in the south of France
56
To an angel named Annabelle
57
Recently I was in France
58
I called you on the phone
59
Caught racing back through memories
60
Luba was at home
61
Her voice sounded quite the same
62
As we touched on the amenities
63
Suddenly it fell and shattered
64
Like a thousand broken tiffanies
65
In November Jean Francoise died
66
We were all there by his side
67
Sorry, darling, that I cried
68
It's hard to keep these things inside
69
Where are you staying and how's your son?
70
No, we hardly told anyone
71
How long are you here, are you with someone?
72
Hold it, I'll put Christophe on the phone
73
Ah my sweet Christophe
74
Same damn voice
75
Hell of a way to become the eldest son
76
It's true you had no choice
77
And you and Annabelle
78
You must take care of her
79
Yes, I'll be over later on
80
And I'll bring my guitar
81
While going through things afterward
82
A letter she wrote and never sent
83
A single phrase stood out to you
84
These are the words and how it went...
85
And the hands of little Julian
86
Will guide you well
87
Et le pere du petit Sebastian
88
Nous attend dans le ceil
