George Gershwin — Oh Lady Be Good

(Verse) Listen to my tale of woe It's terribly sad, but true All dressed up, no place to go Each ev'ning I'm awfully blue I must win some winsome miss Can't go on like this I could blossom out I know With somebody just like you. So (Chorus) 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
