Bessie Smith Lyrics - Norah Jones

1 Bessie was more than just a friend of mine

2 We shared the good times and the bad

3 Many years have since passed me by

4 I still recall the best thing I ever had

5 Now I'm going down the road to see Bessie

6 Oh, see her soon

7 Just going down the road to see Bessie Smith

8 When I get there I'm a wondering what she'll do

9 Now all the crazy things I had to try

10 Well I've tried them all and then some

11 If you're lucky one day you will find out

12 Where it is that your really coming from

13 Now I'm going down the road to see Bessie

14 Oh, see her soon

15 Just going down the road to see Bessie Smith

16 When I get there I'm a wondering what she'll do

17 Now in my day I've made some foolish moves

18 But back then I didn't worry about a thing

19 But now and again I still wonder to myself

20 Was it the sweet love or the way that she could sing?

21 I'm just going down the road to see Bessie

22 Oh, see her soon

23 Just going down the road to see Bessie Smith

24 When I get there I'm a wondering what she'll do
