Lyrics: David Allan Coe. Would You Be My Lady.

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, in the evening, 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?
