Bob Dylan - Bessie Smith Lyrics
(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 hadIm just goin down the road t see bessieOh, see her soonGoin down the road t see bessie smithWhen I get there I wonder what shell doNow all the crazy things I had to tryWell I tried them all and then someBut if youre lucky one day you find outWhere it is youre really comin fromIm just goin down the road t see bessieOh, see her soonGoin down the road t see bessie smithWhen I get there I wonder what shell doNow in my day Ive made some foolish movesBut back then, I didnt worry bout a thingAnd now again I still wonder to myselfWas it her sweet love or the way that she could singIm just goin down the road t see bessieOh, see her soonGoin down the road t see bessie smithWhen I get there I wonder what shell doTheres so much time has gone right on byI didnt think one could be so wrongAnd then one night I was drinkin and a-thinkinIn the bottom of the glass I could see bessies face so strongIm just goin down the road t see bessieOh, see her soonGoin down the road t see bessie smithWhen I get there I wonder what shell doWhen she sees me will she know what Ive 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, Ill be a-bringin it to youOh bessie, sing them old-time blues
