Current song lyrics
When I get off of this mountain, <br />you know where I want to go?<br />Straight down the Mississippi river, <br />to the Gulf of Mexico<br />To Lake Charles, Louisiana, <br />little Bessie, girl that I once knew<br />She told me just to come on by, <br />if there's anything she could do<br /><br />Refrain:<br />Up on Cripple Creek she sends me<br />If I spring a leak she mends me<br />I don't have to speak, she defends me<br />A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one<br /><br />Good luck had just stung me, <br />to the race track I did go<br />She bet on one horse to win <br />and I bet on another to show<br />The odds were in my favor, <br />I had 'em five to one<br />When that nag to win came around the track, <br />sure enough she had won<br /><br />Up on Cripple Creek she sends me<br />If I spring a leak she mends me<br />I don't have to speak, she defends me<br />A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one<br /><br />I took up all of my winnings, <br />and I gave my little Bessie half<br />And she tore it up and threw it in my face, <br />just for a laugh<br />Now there's one thing in the whole wide world, <br />I sure would like to see<br />That's when that little love of mine, <br />dips her doughnut in my tea<br /><br />Up on Cripple Creek she sends me<br />If I spring a leak she mends me<br />I don't have to speak, she defends me<br />A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one<br /><br />Now me and my mate were back at the shack, <br />we had Spike Jones on the box<br />She said, I can't take the way he sings, <br />but I love to hear him talk<br />Now that just gave my heart a throb, <br />to the bottom of my feet<br />And I swore as I took another pull, <br />my Bessie can't be beat<br /><br />Up on Cripple Creek she sends me<br />If I spring a leak she mends me<br />I don't have to speak, she defends me<br />A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one<br /><br />Now there's a flood out in California <br />and up north it's freezing cold<br />And this living on the road <br />is getting pretty old<br />So I guess I'll call up my big mama, <br />tell her I'll be rolling in<br />But you know, deep down, <br />I'm kind of tempted <br />To go and see my Bessie again.<br /><br />(refrain)
