Lyrics

Oh, lady be good Listen to my tale of woe, It's terribly sad but true, All dressed up, no place to go Each ev'ning i'm awf'ly blue. I must win some handsome guy Can't go on like this, I could blossom out i know, With somebody just like you. so... 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. 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. Oh lady be good to me. Published lyric furnished by a visitor. Validated / transcribed by todd peach Published version: Listen to my tale of woe, it's terribly sad but true, All dressed up, no place to go Each ev'ning i'm awf'ly blue. I must win some winsome miss Can't go on like this, I could blossom out i know, Which somebody just like you. so... Oh sweet and lovely, Lady be good, Oh lady be good to me. I am so awf'lly 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. Auburn and brunette and blonde: I love 'em all, tall or small But somehow they dont' grow fond; They stagger but never fall.
