"Oh Bess, Oh Where's My Bess" lyrics
Sammy Davis Jr. & Carmen McRae Lyrics
(originally by Todd Duncan)
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 is my Bess?
Oh Lord
My Bess! I want her now
Without her I can't go on
I've counted the days that I was gone
'Til 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 God, in Your big Heaven
Please show me where I must go
Please give me the strength, show me the way
Tell me the truth, where is she, where is my gal?
Where is 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 is my Bess?
Oh Lord
My Bess! I want her now
Without her I can't go on
I've counted the days that I was gone
'Til 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 God, in Your big Heaven
Please show me where I must go
Please give me the strength, show me the way
Tell me the truth, where is she, where is my gal?
Where is my Bess?
