Bessie was more than just a friend of mineWe shared the good times and the badMany years have since passed me byI still recall the best thing I ever hadNow I'm going down the road to see BessieOooh... to see her soonI'm just going down the road to see Bessie SmithWhen I get there I'm a wondering what she'll doNow all the crazy things I had to tryWell I tried them all and then someIf you look you one day you will find outWhere it is that your really coming fromNow I'm going down the road to see BessieOooh... to see her soonI'm just going down the road to see Bessie SmithWhen I get there I'm a wondering what she'll do(Instrumental)Now in my day I've made some foolish movesBut back then I didn't worry about a thingNow and again I still wonder to myselfWas it the sweet love, or the way that she could singI'm just going down the road to see BessieOooh... to see her soonI'm just going down the road to see Bessie SmithWhen I get there I'm a wondering what she'll do
