| Oh, Bess, oh, where’s my Bess?
|
| Won’t somebody tell me where?
|
| I ain’t care what she say, I ain’t care what she done
|
| Won’t somebody tell me where’s my Bess? |
| Bess
|
| My Bess, I want her now
|
| Without her I can’t go on
|
| I counted the days that I was gone
|
| Till I got home to see her face
|
| Won’t somebody tell me where’s my Bess?
|
| I want her so, my gal, my Bess
|
| Where is she?
|
| Oh, Lord, in your big heaven
|
| Please show me where I must go
|
| Oh, give me the strength, show me the way
|
| Tell me the truth, where is she?
|
| Where is my gal?
|
| Where’s my Bess? |
