Lyrics Oh, Lady Be Good - Sonny Stitt, Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, Harry "Sweets" Edison

Oh, Lady Be Good

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
