I lived a life but nothing I've gained
Each day I'm full of sorrow and pain
No one seems enough for poor me
To give me a word of sympathy
Oh me, oh my
Wonder what will the end be
Oh me, oh my
Wonder what will become of poor me
No father to guide, no mother to care
Must bear my troubles all alone
Not even a brother to help me share
This burden I must bear alone
Oh me, oh my
Wonder what will the end be
Oh me, oh my
Wonder what will become of poor me
I'm sittin' and thinkin' of the days gone by
They fills my heart with pain
I'm too weak to stand and too strong to lie
But I'm forgettin' it all in vain
Oh me, oh my
Wonder what will the end be
Oh me, oh my
Wonder what will become of poor me
I've travelled and wandered almost everywhere
To get a little joy from life
Still I've gained but worries and despair
Still struggling in this world of strife
Oh me, oh my
Wonder what will the end be
Oh me, oh my
Wonder what will become of poor me
Bessie Smith, known as "The Empress of the Blues", was an American blues singer born on April 15, 1894, in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and died on September 26, 1937, in Clarksdale, Mississippi. Considered one of the greatest blues artists of all time, Smith dominated the music scene of the 1920s and 1930s with her powerful voice, emotional performances, and magnetic stage presence. Born into poverty, Bessie began singing on the streets as a child. Her musical career took off in the 1920s when she joined Columbia Records, releasing numerous hits that became blues standards such as "Downhearted Blues", "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out" and "St. Louis Blues". Smith was a pivotal figure in popularizing blues music among mainstream audiences and helped break down racial stereotypes associated with the genre.
