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

I am so awfully 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.

Oh lady be good to me.
