Bessie Smith Lyrics - 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 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'm wonderin' 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'm wonderin' what she'll do 

Now in my day I've made some foolish moves 

But back then, I didn't worry 'bout a thing 

Now and again I still wonder to myself 

Was it her sweet love or the way that she could sing
