Lady B. Goode

Lyrics

It was down in Louisiana, right there in New Orleans
 Back there in the '60s was a little teen queen
 Fell then the lassie in love with a lad
 Till it took him to vindicate take the feelings she had
 She pleaded as she promised every prayer she could
 Till everybody whispered to her, Lady B. Goode
 ♪
 She followed him around where he would play his guitar
 Till he got so popular they made him a star
 Then she could only see him on a TV screen
 And hoped someday that he'd come back to New Orleans
 Everybody liked her and was knocking on wood
 But soon there came a baby from the Lady B. Goode
 ♪
 She wondered if he's ever coming back someday
 The brighter lights and glory may just keep him away
 But then he wrote and told her Do not be dismayed
 The love you have for me will never be betrayed
 They want me 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
 He saw his daddy sing the song he heard in school
 The one his mother told him about the golden rule
 Tears filled her eyes when they misunderstood
 When everybody knew that she was Lady B. Goode
