[Verse 1]
Here comes a beauty dark as night
Her hair does shine, her eyes are bright
A damsel formed for man’s delight
O she is quite a lady, O she is quite a lady!
[Verse 2]
Why does this lady feel confined?
Mayhap the world is too unkind?
Nay doctor, medicate her mind
Pray cure this comely lady, Pray cure this comely lady!
[Verse 3]
Here comes a literary mind
One such as we do rarely find
Just needs a man to be behind
For she is but a lady
[Verse 4]
This woman has a gift for words
If only she had writ these words
They'd prob'ly be much better words
Though written by a lady
[Verse 5]
Her eyes are nothing like the sun
If snow be white, her breasts are dun
And that is our description done
For she is but a lady, She is but a lady!
[Verse 6]
Why must this wench act so distressed?
Mayhap she can't abide a jest
Nor welcome love when 'tis professed
What an ungrateful lady, What an ungrateful lady!
