Bessie Sweet Bessie (My First Car)

© 2015 Words & Music by Steve Pullara

Song note: We often miss our first family car after it's sold.

Do you ever wonder how ole' Bessie is doing?

Oh Bessie, sweet Bessie, you were my very first car.
Oh Bessie, sweet Bessie, I wonder how you are.

We traveled a lot together with many long trips on the road.
But now, this chapter is over baby. It’s our last episode.

Bessie, sweet Bessie, Let’s polish you up for tomorrow.
Bessie, sweet Bessie, I have the heart pangs of sorrow!

And though your grill was a happy grin,
You won’t start anymore where my keys go in.

You’re ailing and failing sweet Bessie.
But, I’ll always have memories of you.

Bessie, sweet Bessie, it's time you had to go.
Your new owner came to steer you away dear.
Be careful and please drive slow.

Bessie, sweet Bessie, I’m gonna miss you so.
You were my very best friend dear girl.

But, it’s the end of the road.

Bye, bye, sweet Bessie...you were my very first car.
Oh Bessie, sweet Bessie, I’ll wonder how you are.

We traveled a lot together with many long trips on the road.
Now, this chapter is over baby and it’s our last episode.

Bye, bye, sweet Bessie. Bye, bye, sweet Bessie.
Bye, bye, sweet Bessie.

I’m gonna miss you so, but it’s time to go.
