Because I'm so red

1. Because I am so red, ; Don't think I am a fool. ; This is how my mother gave birth to me, ; I don't need blush on my face. ; ; 2. Because I am so pale, ; Don't think I am sick. ; My lover has made me pale, ; Without you, what is my life worth. ; ; 3. Because I am like this, like this, ; I am the lover of nine young men, ; The tenth one lies dead for me, ; In a violet-colored coffin of mourning. ; ; 4. Because I am drafted, ; Don't worry, my baby, I will not be a soldier, ; Will the judge be so kind to us, ; Even if he writes that I am not twenty years old, ; ; 5. It says I'm only eighteen, - to the tune of line 3 ; I can get married if I want to. - to the tune of line 4
