Lyrics Baby, Have Pity on Me - Bessie Smith
You
show
your
sympathy
to
every
bird
and
bee
But
when
it
comes
to
me,
dear,
you
laugh
at
every
plea
Sweetheart,
I
need
the
bliss,
the
bliss
of
your
sweet
kiss
What
can
the
answer
be,
dear?
I
can't
go
on
like
this
Like
a
beggar,
what
can
I
do?
Hungry
for
kisses
and
starvin'
for
you
Press
your
lips
to
my
lips,
Lord,
have
pity
on
me
Cravin'
for
affection,
my
cravin'
is
strong
Put
your
arms
around
me
where
they
belong
Press
me,
caress
me,
oh,
have
pity
on
me
One
kiss
and
I'll
know,
I'll
go
riding
on
a
rainbow
Straight
up
to
heaven,
I
will
fly
right
to
the
sky
Can't
you
hear
me
cryin'
for
sweet
sympathy?
No
love
like
your
love
can
answer
my
plea
Press
your
lips
to
my
lips,
Lord,
have
pity
on
me
One
kiss
and
I'll
know,
I'll
go
riding
on
a
rainbow
Straight
up
to
heaven,
Lord,
I
will
fly
right
to
the
sky
Can't
you
hear
me
cryin'
for
sweet
sympathy?
No
love
like
your
love
can
answer
my
plea
Press
your
lips
to
my
lips,
have
pity
on
me
