Lady Be
Written: 1973
Writers: David Jenneson, Peter Sinclair
Status: Recorded but unpublished
Genre and Style: Country pop ballad.
Comments: Dave: Lady Be is an extremely simple song with a very memorable melody. The arrangement manages to have only two verses of two lines each – everything else is repeated and in this case it only makes the song stronger. It has a lyrical elegance which just enigmatic enough to keep it interesting. Though it was written over thirty years ago it has a timeless quality of a standard. Even today the almost any artist could do very well by it.
Comments: Al: This was when I realized what a great songwriter Pete was… I was always jealous of this song and wish I had written it… a beauty Pete!

Lady be kind to me
Lady be
Lady be
Lady be kind to me
Down in New Orleans
The water’s not so clean
But we could live a life of ease
We could find
Peace of mind
Oh lady, be my lady,
Lady please
Lady be
Lady be
Lady be kind to me
Lady be
Lady be
Lady be kind to me
You know the story well,
You end it as you please,
For we can live a life of ease
We can find
Peace of mind
Oh lady, be my lady,
Lady please.
Lady be
Lady be
Lady be kind to me
Lady be
Lady be
Lady be kind to me
La la la la la la la la oooh la
La la la la la oooh.
