| Listen to my tale of woe
|
| It’s terribly sad, but true
|
| All dressed up, no place to go
|
| Each evening I’m awfully 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 awfully 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 |
