Listen to my tale of woe,
It`s terribly sad, but true.
All dressed up, no place to go,
Each ev`ning I`m awfully blue
I know I`m a winsome miss / I must win some handsome guy
Can`t go on like this,
I could blossom out I know,
With somebody just like you. So...
Chorus :
Oh, sweet and lovely lady, be good
Oh, lady, be good to me
I am so awf`ly misunderstood
So lady, be good to me
Oh, please have some pity
I`m all alone in this big city
I tell you I`m just a lonesome babe in the wood,
So lady be good to me.
(bis)
Oh lady be good to me.
