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
