Bess, Oh Where's My Bess

Bess, oh, where's my Bess?

Won't somebody tell me where?

I don't care what she says

I don't care what she's done

Won't somebody tell me where's my Bess?

Bess, no, Lord, my Bess, I want her now

Without her I can't go on

I counted the days that I was gone

Till I got home to see her face

Won't somebody tell me where's my Bess?

I want her so, my gal, where is she?

Oh Lord, in your big heaven

Show me where I must go

Oh, give me the strength, show me the way

Tell me the truth, where is she? Where is my gal?

Where is my Bess?
