Bessie Smith — текст песни (Band, The)

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

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
