Sister Bessie
Sister Bessie, don't you say no prayer for me
A slow boat's gonna lead me where I'm bound
I'm for to travel far across the distant seas
My destiny will lead me where I'm bound
Only a child, and with a sweet child's tender heart
Waiting for someone to call you mine
How do you keep your faith, when you are always falling, yes, I'm falling
How do you find a way to keep from crying
Bessie don't you weep, Bessie don't you moan
You stole my heart in oh so many ways
But the woman who stole my soul has taken all I have
And left me here alone and in a daze
Bessie don't you weep no more
