Bobbie Gentry - Jessye' Lisabeth lyrics

rate me

Pray tell, Jessye' Lisabeth

Tell me why you're weeping

Pray tell, Jessye' Lisabeth

When you should be sleeping

What secret are you keeping

Jessye' Lisabeth, pray tell

What could cause such bitter tears

What lesson has life taught you

Hear me sweet and precious one

Look what I have brought you

Here's a star I caught you

For my lady fair star

Pray tell, Jessye' Lisabeth

What can I do for you

Pray tell, Jessye' Lisabeth

Fair maiden I employ you

Oh how I adore you

Your humble servant I remain

Doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo, doo doo, doo doo

Doo doo doo doo, doo doo

Pray tell, Jessye' Lisabeth

Oh have I have missed you

Now you must dry your pretty eyes

I'm here to assist you

Come let mama kiss you

Twelve o'clock and all is well
