Lyrics:
Bessie couldn't help it
Bessie couldn't help it
Bessie couldn't help it any more
Than you could or I could
Bessie couldn't help it though she tried
Bessie couldn't help it,
Bessie couldn't help it
Bessie couldn't help it any more than you could, or I could
Bessie couldn't help it though she
Bessie couldn't help it,
Bessie couldn't help it
Bessie couldn't help it any more than you could, or I could
Bessie couldn't help it though she
Bessie couldn't help it,
Bessie couldn't help it
Bessie couldn't help it any more than you could, or I could
Bessie couldn't help it though she
Bessie couldn't help it
Bessie couldn't help it
Bessie couldn't help it any more
Than you could or I could
Bessie couldn't help it though she
Ogwen--Bessie's gone
Bessie's gone away
I looked in the high meadow for her
I think she's gone
I looked down by the river
And I looked behind
Bessie was more than just a friend of mine
We shared the good times with the bad
Now many a year has passed me by
I still recall the best thing I
Bessie's a strange little girl
Her legless dolls cry at night
She had a rabbit but it ran away
She has a scar on her toe from its bite
Her baby
Bessie couldn't help it any more than you could, or I could
Bessie couldn't help it though she tried to be good, Oh! So good.
She was pretty
Bessie, you know that I love you
I love you, girl, with all of my heart
And Bessie, you know how much I care
There's nothing gonna tear us apart
Bessie was more than just a friend of mine
We shared the good times with the bad
Now many a year has passed me by
I still recall the best thing I
Bessie was more than just a friend of mine
We shared the good times and the bad
Many years have since passed me by
I still recall the best thing I
Bitter bessie dagbreek
Bitter bessie son
'n Spieël het gebreek
Tussen my en hom
Stap ek langs die grootpad
Om daar langs te draf
Oral draai die
Bessie was more than a friend of mine
We shared the good times and the bad
Well many years has since passed me by
I still recall the best thing I
Bessie couldn't help it any more than you could, or I could
Bessie couldn't help it though she tried to be good, Oh! So good.
She was pretty
Jy's al wat ek wou hê wens jy kon'ie selles hê
Bessie, sê my nou eers
Jy't iemand anders
Vir wie jy voel, vir wie jy voel
Hoe lank kan ek dit uithou,
Piet Jan van der Merwe het daai tyd al geweet
Dat Bessie B Vermaas nooit van hom sal vergeet
Hy't jare lank in 'n bruinsteenhuis om die hoek van haar
Bessie was more than just a friend of mine
We shared the good times with the bad
Now many a year has passed me by
I still recall the best thing I
stand on it
You know that we miss you, miss you
Bessie you know we stand on it, stand on it
You know that we miss you, miss you
Granny know we stand
Bessie was born in a magnolia tree
Folks said the sun wouldn't set until it hurt her sing
Her daddy died the same day that baby made her first sound
will save the girl I love
By that love I hold for Bessie
I will see that somethin's done!
Not one minute he delayed
When this brave resolve was made
Louisiana, little Bessie, girl that I once knew
She told me just to come on by, if there's anything she could do
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
If I
(grosz/langolff)
Et si...et si...bessie
Elle avait pas eu la peau noire
Comme les étangs, comme les mares
O¨' les lions là-bas vont boire.
Et
Little Bessie, girl that I once knew
And she told me just to come on by
If there's anything she could do
Up on Cripple Creek, she sends me
If I
