[Intro]
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 winsome miss
Can't go on like this
I could blossom out I know
With somebody just like you, so

[Verse 1]
Oh sweet and lovely lady, be good
Oh lady be good to me

[Verse 2]
I am so awfully misunderstood
So lady be good to me

[Bridge]
Oh, please have some pity
I'm all alone in this big city

[Verse 3]
I tell you I’m just a lonesome babe in the woods
So lady be good to me
[Verse 2]
I am so awfully misunderstood
So lady be good to me
