Lady B. Goode

It was down in Louisiana right down New Orleans

Back down in the '60s with the little teen queen

Fell down a lassie, in love with a lad

Tell her come to vindicate take the feelings she had

She beated as she promised every brass she could

To everybody who's been listening to her, Lady B. Goode

She followed him around where he'll raise his guitar

Till he got so popular that made him a star

Then she could only see him on a TV screen

And hoped someday that he come back to New Orleans

Everybody liked her and was knocking on wood

But soon there came a baby from Lady B. Goode

She wanted him to rest and come back someday

The Friday lights in Cleveland just keep him away

But then he wrote and told her "Do not miss me

We'll have you look whenever he'll be betrayed

There won't be do a movie about my livelihood

And I want you to play the part of Lady B. Goode"

She went to see the movie when it hit the screen

Babysitting Johnnie Jr. down in New Orleans

So is dead and sick as he heard hime in school

The one his mother told him about the golden rule

Tears shed her eyes when they misunderstood

When everybody knew that she was Lady B. Goode
