INTRO

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?
