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
