Jessye' Lisabeth Songtext
von Mercury Rev

Pray tell, Jessye′ Lisabeth
Tell me why you're weeping?
Pray tell, Jessye′ Lisabeth
When you should be sleeping
What secret are you keeping?
Jessye' Lisabeth, pray tell


What could cause such bitter tears?
What lesson has life taught you?
Hear me, sweet and precious one
Look what I have brought you
Here's a star I caught you
For my lady fair, star

Pray tell, Jessye′ Lisabeth
What can I do for you?
Pray tell, Jessye′ Lisabeth
Fair maiden, I implore you
Oh, how I adore you
Your humble servant, I remain


Pray tell, Jessye' Lisabeth
Oh, how I have missed you
Now you must dry your pretty eyes
I′m here to assist you
Come let mama kiss you
Twelve o'clock, and all is well
