Don't weep for the lady She wouldn't want it that way Oh, the lyrical lady When she was blue, she was gay I'll always remember That sweet and wistful smile She seemed to know When things were low That they'd get better After a while and for many, many years She stirred your heart with soulful songs Those haunting melodies Will keep our memories strong So very long And so, let us pray the Lord Her troubled soul He'll keep And give her peace But, but for the lady, don't you weep No, no, no, no, no, no, no Not for Billie, Billie, Billie Don't you weep
