lyrics

She loves song with every breath of her existence
And she knows that there ain't no use in resistance
And she tells everyone who sees her that they'll never be the same
That no one in the land sings like Bessie James

No one in the land sings like Bessie James
No one in the land sings like Bessie James
You can rest assured that you won't forget her name
That no one in the land sings like Bessie James

Mac and Frankie took the first train out to Kansas
Mac said, "Frank, let's try to take what cruel life hands us"
So they shelled out every dime in the dampest local bar
And the singer on the stage stole my brothers' hearts

No one in the land sings like Bessie James
No one in the land sings like Bessie James
She and Mac met eyes and they both went up in flames
And no one in the land sings like Bessie James

Though they swam in clouds of positive reaction
Frankie found the lovers to be a distraction
Oh, and Mac tried hard to disregard his brother's pain
While the whiskey dinner flowed through his weary veins

So Frankie took the long road, Mac stayed there in town
And they both were set on bringing the other one right down
Frankie kept on saying, "Oh, I'll be a star
If I'm the best in the whole damn land at this old guitar"

But no one in the land sings like Bessie James
No one in the land sings like Bessie James
Frank and Mac dissolved and bemoaned what they became
For no one in the land sings like Bessie James

No one in the land sings like Bessie James
No one in the land sings like Bessie James
She said, "What could I do? It was such a simple game"
That's why no one in the land sings like Bessie James
