Band - Up On Cripple Creek Lyrics
A dWhen I get off of this mountain, you know where I want to go?A d eStraight down the mississippi river, to the gulf of mexicoA dTo lake charles, louisiana, little bessie, girl that I once knewA d eShe told me just to come on by, if theres anything she could doRefrain:AUp on cripple creek she sends meDIf I spring a leak she mends meEI dont have to speak, she defends meF#m gA drunkards dream if I ever did see oneGood luck had just stung me, to the race track I did goShe bet on one horse to win and I bet on another to showThe odds were in my favor, I had em five to oneWhen that nag to win came around the track, sure enough she had won(refrain)I took up all of my winnings, and I gave my little bessie halfAnd she tore it up and threw it in my face, just for a laughNow theres one thing in the whole wide world, I sure would like to seeThats when that little love of mine, dips her doughnut in my tea(refrain)Now me and my mate were back at the shack, we had spike jones on the boxShe said, I cant take the way he sings, but I love to hear him talkNow that just gave my heart a throb, to the bottom of my feetAnd I swore and I took another pull, my bessie cant be beat(refrain)Now theres a flood out in california and up north its freezing coldAnd this living on the road is getting pretty oldSo I guess Ill call up my big mama, tell her Ill be rolling inBut you know, deep down, Im kind of temptedTo go and see my bessie again.(refrain)
