Bessie Smith

Bessie was more than just a friend of mine

We shared the good times with the bad

Now many a year has passed me by

I still recall the best thing I ever had

Now I'm just going down the road to see Bessie

Oh, see her soon

I‘m just going down the road to see Bessie Smith

When I get there I'm wondering what she'll do

All the crazy things I had tried

Well I tried them all and then some

But if you're lucky one day you'll find out

Where it is you're really comin' from

Now I'm just going down the road to see Bessie

Oh, see her soon

I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith

When I get there I'm wondering what she'll do

Now in my day I've made some foolish moves

But back then, I didn't worry about a thing

And now again I still wonder to myself

Was it her sweet love or the way that she could sing

Now I'm going down the road to se Bessie

Oh, see her soon

I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith

When I get there I'm wondering what she'll do
