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 may call her the best thing I ever had Now I'm going down the road to see Bessie Oh see her soon I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith And when I get there, I'm wondering what she'll do All those crazy things I had to try 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 coming from Now I'm going down the road to see Bessie Oh see her soon I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith And when I get there, I'm wondering what she'll do Now in my day I made some foolish moves But back then I didn't worry about a thing Now and again I still wonder to myself Was it her sweet love or the way that she could sin Now I'm going down the road to see Bessie Oh see her soon I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith And when I get there, I'm wondering what she'll do
