paroles de chanson Bessie & Jack, I - Bessie Smith

But I got time
You know my nerves was gone from running from Jack?
No

And then no one looking 'round corners
And wondering where it coming from and where
Nobody don't know nothing
The only thing Jack is on when he walk in
He walks in hidden

Don't let me be in front of the door
When he's trying to get to Bessie
I get knocked down
That's right

And Bessie, whoohoo
Shall she get all you mugglers best
Watch
She 'feat Jack, knocking her up against the wall

He come and wham, yeah
And then she kick him
And how we talking about fighting
Anyone could fight (hmm)

But she couldn't be Jack-Jack
Was I guess Jack was a dime rumbling of you
All this shoot, he was standing there with his mouth wide open

She took his gun and shot him (I, uh)
I told you about that time, I don't know
I don't know what a nine is

Alright, that's one time I got scared (I don't know about that)
And Jack got sure she gonna kill him
Oh my

Everytime, she-she emptied him in his gun (yeah)
And never hit him once
Thanks, she didn't wanna hit him

But I added no less
I thought this had killed Jack that time
(How did that happen?)
That's when she took Lillian and I
That Lillian Simpson

That turn she came to New York to tell on the girls
And then show tour
And that Jack had been lean up with this gal

So Bessie got mad as usual
And grab Jack's gun
And at first she took the gal
Beat the gal up and told that they on track

See, we was on the dead track (uh-huh)
I told you about that
And the gal was beat up so bad
She couldn't get up

And Bessie took all her clothes
And told her down the isle and said
"If I see you in the morn', bitch
I'm 'one beat you everytime I see you so get out"

Couldn't get up there running
After the Bessie threw out there on the track
And then Jack

Was running up to the b-
He running all over to talk to gal laying there
Who needs c- I don't think

She would actually beat the gal
She walked into the stateroom where Jack was
And then he was sitting up there

And his gun was on the table
And she grabbed it off
Oh, you no good bast-
I couldn't even trust you to go to New York
And record and come back

He was fucking around with this damn chorus girls
I'm gonna make you remember me today
I'm tired of it all

And Jack jumped up past Bessie
Hahaha
He jumped up off track
Off the trail of the track

And he-
All you could see was Jack going up the
Off the track

And you could play checkers on his coattail
He was going so fast and Bessie was still shooting
And never touched him
