(R. Danko and J.R. Robertson)
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
OhSee 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
OhSee 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 thenI 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
OhSee 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
OhSee her soon
Goin down the road t see Bessie Smith
When I get there I wonder what she ll do
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 haveI ll be a-bringin it to you
Oh Bessiesing them old-time blues
