Lyrics:

Bessie was more than a friend of mine We shared the good times and the bad Well many years has since passed me by I still recall the best thing I ever had Now I'm 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 wondering 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 will find out Where it is that you're really coming from Now I'm 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 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 Smith When I get there I wondering what she'll do I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith When I get there I wondering what she'll do
