Lady Be Good - The Modern Jazz Quartet & Ben Webster, The Modern Jazz Quartet, Ben Webster

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
