Quotes from Bessie Smith

When my bed is empty, Makes me feel awful mean and blue. My springs are getting rusty, Living single like I do.

It's a long old road but I know I'm gonna find the end.

Listen to my story and everything will come out true

No time to marry, no time to settle down; I'm a young woman, and I ain't done runnin' around.

I ain't good-lookin', but I'm somebody's angel child.
