Bessie was more than just a friend of mine We shared the good times and the bad Many years have since passed me by I still recall the best thing I ever had
Now I'm going down the road to see Bessie Oh... To see her soon I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith When I get there I'm a wondering what she'll do
Now all the crazy things I had to try Well I tried them all and then some If you look you one day you will find out Where it is that your really coming from
Now I'm going down the road to see Bessie Oh... To see her soon I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith When I get there I'm a 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 Now and again I still wonder to myself Was it the sweet love, or the way that she could sing
I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Oh... To see her soon I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith When I get there I'm a wondering what she'll do
