Bessie Smith Lyrics - Band

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 wonder 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 wonder what she'll do

Now in my day I've made some foolish moves 

But back then, I didn't worry 'bout a thing 

And now again I still wonder to myself 

Was it her sweet love or the way that she could sing 

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 wonder what she'll do 

There's so much time has gone right on by 

I didn't think one could be so wrong 

And then one night I was drinkin' and a-thinkin' 

In the bottom of the glass I could see Bessie's face so strong 

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 wonder what she'll do 

Photos 

When she sees me will she know what I've been through? 

Will old times start to feelin' like new? 

When I get there will our love still feel so true? 

Yet all I have, I'll be a-bringin' it to you 

Oh Bessie, sing them old-time blues
