The 7 Women

It started with one
The south is where she would grow up
New York is where she would stay
A man she would meet, two girls she would have
New York is where the oldest would grow up
She would move to Baltimore, but at some point, Colorado would become her home
She would have two girls of her own
But would lose one all too soon
New York is where the youngest would grow up
She would try out California, but Colorado would become her home
She would have one girl of her own
She would be born in New York, but Colorado would be her home
And a girl she would have of her own
