(R. Danko and J.R. Robertson)Bessie was more than just a friend of mineWe shared the good times with the badNow many a year has passed me byI still recall the best thing I ever hadI'm just goin' down the road t' see BessieOh, See her soonGoin' down the road t' see Bessie SmithWhen I get there I wonder what she'll doNow all the crazy things I had to tryWell I tried them all and then someBut if you're lucky one day you find outWhere it is you're really comin' fromI'm just goin' down the road t' see BessieOh, See her soonGoin' down the road t' see Bessie SmithWhen I get there I wonder what she'll doNow in my day I've made some foolish movesBut back then, I didn't worry 'bout a thingAnd now again I still wonder to myselfWas it her sweet love or the way that she could singI'm just goin' down the road t' see BessieOh, See her soonGoin' down the road t' see Bessie SmithWhen I get there I wonder what she'll doThere's so much time has gone right on byI didn't think one could be so wrongAnd then one night I was drinkin' and a-thinkin'In the bottom of the glass I could see Bessie's face so strongI'm just goin' down the road t' see BessieOh, See her soonGoin' down the road t' see Bessie SmithWhen I get there I wonder what she'll doWhen 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 youOh Bessie, sing them old-time blues
