Verse:

Lis -ten to my tale of woe, It's ter -ri -bly sad, but true.

All dressed up no place to go, Each ev -'ning I'm awf -'ly blue.

I must win some win -some miss; Can't go on like this.

I could blos -som out I know, With some -bod -y just like you, so,

 

Chorus:

Oh, sweet and love -ly la -dy, be good!

Oh la -dy, be good! to me!

I am so awf' -ly mis -un -der -stood,

So la -dy be good to me.

Oh, please have some pit -y

I'm all a -lone in this big cit -y I tell you

I'm just a lone -some babe in the wood

So la -dy, be good to me!
