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
 I'm just goin' down the road t' see Bessie
 Oh, see her soon
 Goin' down the road t' see Bessie Smith
 When I get there I'm wonderin' what she'll do
 ♪
 Now all the crazy things I had to try
 Well I tried them all and then some
 But if you're lucky one day you find out
 Where it is you're really comin' from
 I'm just goin' down the road t' see Bessie
 Oh, see her soon
 Goin' down the road t' see Bessie Smith
 When I get there I'm wonderin' what she'll do
 ♪
 Now in my day I've made some foolish moves
 But back then, I didn't worry 'bout a thing
 Now and again I still wonder to myself
 Was it her sweet love or the way that she could sing
 'Cause now I'm goin' down the road t' see Bessie
 Oh, see her soon
 I'm just goin' down the road t' see Bessie Smith
 And when I get there I'm wonderin' what she'll do
