Emily Jane White - Bessie Smith lyrics

I said oh oh, Bessie Smith why do you hang your head so low? I would die in heaven just to meet your soul. I said oh oh, Bessie Smith why do you hang your head so low? I would die in heaven, I would die in heaven just to meet your… Shot to the ego boy it's where this knife runs through, Three wise men call Bessie down for a dual, Shot to the ego boy it's where this knife runs through, Three wise men call Bessie down for a dual. I said oh oh, father lay me down, Down on this sunken ground, I said oh oh, father lay me down, Down on this sunken ground. But she's got a crucifix hidin' way down in this pit, oh If you wish to call her out, Call her with your bravest shout, I said oh oh, father lay me down, Down on this sunken ground, I said oh oh, father lay me down, Down on this sunken ground. I said oh oh Bessie Smith why do you hang your head so low? I would die in heaven, I would die in heaven, I would die in heaven just to meet your soul.
