Ella Fitzgerald - Oh, Lady Be Good (1947 Version) lyrics

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 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 Winte'rs gone, and now it's spring! Love! where is thy sting? If somebody won't respond I'm going to end it all 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 This is tulip weather - So let's put two and two together I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood So, lady be good, to me Show Version: What a k**ing we could make; Oh, lady, oh, please come through! Susie, oh, for goodness' sake; It isn't so hard to do In this moment of distress Hear my S.O.S All my future is at stake And, Susie, it's up to you So...... Oh sweet and lovely, lady be good Oh Susie, be good to me I am so awf'lly misunderstood So Susie, 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 Susie be good....to me 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.

I've put an end to your widowhood So wifey, be good to me We should be more clubby - I hope you're glad to see your hubby Or else, dear I'll be a lonely babe in the wood Oh wifey be good to me
