Bessie Smith - Bob Dylan
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 going down the road to see bessie
Oh see her soon
Going down the road to see bessie smith
When I get there I wonder what shell do
All the crazy things I had to try
Well I tried them all and then some
But if youre lucky one day you find out
Where it is youre really comin from
Im just goin down the road t see bessie
Oh see her soon
I'm just going down the road t see bessie smith
When I get there I wonder what shell do
Now in my day Ive made some foolish moves
But back then I didn't worry about a thing
And now again I still wonder to myself
Was it her sweet love or the way that she could sing
Im just goin down the road t see bessie
Oh see her soon
I'm just going down the road to see bessie smith
When I get there I wonder what shell do
