2. Stay, lady, stay, 
   stay with your man awhile 
   Until the break of day, 
   let me see you make him smile 
   His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean 
   And you’re the best thing that he’s ever seen 
   Stay, lady, stay, 
   stay with your man awhile

   You can have your cake and eat it too 
   Hmi                         D         G    
   Why wait any longer for the one you love 
                 Hmi              Ami   
   When he’s standing in front of you 

3. Lay, lady, lay, 
   lay across my big brass bed 
   Stay, lady, stay, 
   stay while the night is still ahead 
   I long to see you in the morning light 
   I long to reach for you in the night 
   Stay, lady, stay, 
   stay while the night is still ahead
