[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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?

[Verse 3]
Oh God, in Your big Heavеn
Please show me whеre 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?
