Lyrics:

By David Allan Coe

WOULD YOU HOLD ON TO MY HAND WHEN I GET LONELY
COULD I COME TO YOU WHENEVER I'M IN NEED
WOULD YOU ALWAYS HAVE A PLACE FOR ME TO LAY MY BODY DOWN
WOULD YOU BE MY LADY, IN THE MORNING
WOULD YOU BE LADY

WOULD YOU WALK WITH ME ACROSS THE BRIDGES I FORGOT TO BURN
COULD YOU FACE THE FUTURE LOOKING AT MY PAST
IF I TOOK THE TIME TO TEACH YOU ALL THE THINGS YOU'LL NEED TO LEARN
TO BE MY LADY, WHEN I NEED YOU
WOULD YOU BE MY LADY

DOES IT MATTER TO YOU THAT YOU'RE NOT MY FIRST LOVE
WOULD YOU LET A THING LIKE THAT STAND IN YOUR WAY
IF I SAID YOU WAS THE WOMAN THAT COULD EASE MY TROUBLED MIND
WOULD YOU BE MY LADY, WHEN I NEED YOU
WOULD YOU BE MY LADY

WOULD YOU WALK WITH ME ACROSS THE BRIDGES I FORGOT TO BURN
COULD YOU FACE THE FUTURE LOOKING AT MY PAST
IF I TOOK THE TIME TO TEACH YOU ALL THINGS YOU'LL NEED TO LEARN
TO BE MY LADY, IN THE MORNING
WOULD YOU BE MY LADY

WOULD YOU ALWAYS HAVE A PLACE FOR ME TO LAY MY BODY DOWN
