Oh Lady Be Good

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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.
