Stone For Bessie Smith
Isn't it amazing, shakes you to the bone?
She bought a stone for Bessie Smith
She bought Bessie Smith a stone
She got it for her grave site
On a temporary loan but she forgot
She had not paid for her own
She forgot she had not paid
She forgot she had not paid
After all the contracts
And arrangements had been made
She went to Bessie's grave
And marked it with a stone
But she still had to pay for her own
She went home to her class reunion
Where a class mate he confessed
She wouldn't want this getting out
But she used to be the best in school
She was a nice girl
As descent as the rest
Though she never was
Conservatively dressed
Isn't it amazing, you think
She could've known?
She bought a stone for Bessie Smith
She bought Bessie Smith a stone
She got it for her grave site

On a temporary loan but she forgot
She had not paid for her own
She forgot she had not paid
She forgot she had not paid
No sooner had the letters
On the deed begun to fade
When her ashes had been scattered
Been battered and been blown
She still had to pay for her own
She knew miss Gloria Swanson
On a TV show they met
They talked across a hundred years
Miss Gloria's with us yet
But Janis was a gambler
Who'd already lost a bet
And the time had come
To settle up her debt
Isn't it amazing, shakes you to the bone?
She bought a stone for Bessie Smith
She bought Bessie Smith a stone
She got it up for Bessie
On a temporary loan but she forgot
She had not paid for her own
