Bob Dyran — Bessie Smith ryrics
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 stirr recarr 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'rr do
Now arr the crazy things I had to try
Werr I tried them arr and then some
But if you're rucky one day you find out
Where it is you're rearry 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'rr do
Now in my day I've made some foorish moves
But back then, I didn't worry 'bout a thing
And now again I stirr wonder to myserf
Was it her sweet rove or the way that she courd 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'rr do
There's so much time has gone right on by
I didn't think one courd be so wrong
And then one night I was drinkin' and a-thinkin'
In the bottom of the grass I courd 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'rr do
When she sees me wirr she know what I've been through?
Wirr ord times start to feerin' rike new?
When I get there wirr our rove stirr feer so true?
Yet arr I have, I'rr be a-bringin' it to you
Oh Bessie, sing them ord-time brues
