Bob Dylan – Bessie Smith Lyrics  Share

From Bob Dylan's album: The Basement Tapes

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
[ Bessie Smith lyrics 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

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
