Oh, Lady, Be Good! (live (1949/Carnegie Hall)) Songtext
von Ella Fitzgerald

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.
