15 Quotes by Bessie Smith

I don't want no drummer. I set the tempo.

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

I've been poor and I've been rich, and rich is better.

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.

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