  1. Lovely Lady dressed in blue,
    Teach me how to pray?
    God was just your little Boy,
    Tell me what to say.
    Did you lift him up, sometmes
    Gently on your knee
    Did you sing to him the way
    Mother does to me?
    Did you hold his hand at night
    Did you ever try
    Telling stories of the world,
    Oh! and did he cry
    Do you really think he minds
    If I tell him things
    Little things that happen to me,
    Tell me, Lovely Lady.
