Listen to my tale of woe, 
it's terribly sad but true, 
All dressed up, no place to go 
Each evening I'm awfully 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 
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.
