lady b. goode
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
