Hey Miss Bessie Songtext
von Jimmy Rushing

Hey, Miss Bessie, you sure got some fine barbecue
Hey Miss Bessie, you sure got some fine barbecue
Hey Miss Bessie, you sure got some fine barbecue
I′ll be around to get some tonight about a quarter to two

I don't want it too hot, I don′t want it too cold
I wanna eat the meat right down to the bone
I don't want it too fat, I don't want it too lean
Hey, Bessie, you know that I mean


Hey Miss Bessie, you sure got some fine barbecue
I′ll be around to get some tonight about a quarter to two

Every night about twelve o′clock
Everybody down at Bessie's shop
The jukebox playing those mellow blues
And you can get the kind of meat that you choose

Miss Bessie stays open all night long
Check that barbecue, it′s real gone
She's got some light, she′s got some brown
Miss Bessie got the finest meat in town


Hey Miss Bessie, you sure got some fine barbecue
I'll be around to get some tonight about a quarter to two
