Bessie's Advice - Eric Bibb/Rory Block/Maria Muldaur
If the shoes don't fit
Honey don't keep it on
If you're looking for a king why settle for a pawn
If you don't want to stay girl get gone it's alright
Bessie told me in a dream last night
If he raises his voice look him straight in the eye
If he raises his hand tell him don't even try
If he starts to raise hell tell him bye-bye why fight
Bessie told me in a dream last night
Don't you mess with no dude that's rude and mean
'Cause baby don't you know you're a queen
Don't you keep no dude that's rude and mean
Baby Doll don't you know you're a queen
And if he's doing right
Oh honey let it show
If his kisses are sweet let that man know
If his love is true don't let him go hold tight
Oh Bessie told me in a dream last night
If he lights up your world no matter where he's been
If he's just what you want
Honey tell him come on in
Waive goodbye to your tears till they're clean out of sight
Ba do day
That's what Bessie told me in my dream last night
That's what Bessie Smith told me in a dream last night
And don't you know I always take Bessie's advice
You know she just like a mama to me yeah
She said love that man but if he treat you mean
Honey you just get right out of that scene
That's what Bessie told me in my dream last night
And I always take her advice
Get it bring it put it right here
And if you can't do that you keep it out there
That's what Bessie told me in my dream last night
Girls you can't get better advice
That's what Bessie told me in my dream last night
In my dream last night
She said
Little sister find a man that's gonna treat you right
That's what Bessie told me in my dream last night
If he's mean don't make a scene just walk out that door
'Cause Honey you were born for a whole lot more
That's what Bessie told me in my dream last night
And I always take her advice
Baba dode day-a day-a day-a day-a
