Bess, oh, where's my Bess? Won't somebody tell me where? I don't care what she says I don't care what she's done Won't somebody tell me where's my Bess? Bess, no, Lord, 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, where is she? Oh Lord, in your big heaven 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 is my Bess?
