Stone For Bessie Smith - Dory Previn[00:00:00]

Isn't it amazing[00:00:15]

Shakes you to the bone[00:00:18]

She bought a stone[00:00:21]

For bessie smith[00:00:22]

She bought bessie smith a stone[00:00:24]

She got it for her grave-site[00:00:28]

On a temporary loan[00:00:31]

But she forgot[00:00:34]

She had not paid[00:00:35]

For her own[00:00:38]

She forgot she had not paid[00:00:40]

She forgot she had not paid[00:00:44]

After all the contracts[00:00:48]

And arrangements had been made[00:00:50]

She went to bessie's grave[00:00:55]

And marked it with a stone[00:00:58]

But she still[00:01:01]

Had to pay for her own[00:01:03]

She went home[00:01:11]

To her class reunion[00:01:12]

Where a class-mate he confessed[00:01:15]

She wouldn't want this getting out[00:01:19]

But she used to be the best[00:01:21]

In school she was a nice girl[00:01:25]

As descent as the rest[00:01:29]

Though she never was[00:01:31]

Conservatively dressed[00:01:34]

Isn't it amazing[00:01:39]

You think she could've known[00:01:43]

She bought a stone[00:01:46]

For bessie smith she bought[00:01:47]

Bessie smith a stone[00:01:49]

She got it for her grave-site[00:01:53]

On a temporary loan[00:01:56]

But she forgot[00:01:59]

She had not paid[00:02:01]

For her own[00:02:03]

She forgot she had not paid[00:02:06]

She forgot she had not paid[00:02:10]

No sooner had the letters[00:02:13]

On the deed begun to fade[00:02:16]

When her ashes had been scattered[00:02:20]

Been battered and been blown[00:02:24]

But she forgot she had not paid[00:02:27]

For her own[00:02:32]
