[00:07.439]When I get off of this mountain, you know where I want to go?
[00:14.680]Straight down the Mississippi river, to the Gulf of Mexico
[00:20.681]To Lake Charles, Louisiana, little Bessie, girl that I once knew
[00:27.939]She told me just to come on by, if there's anything she could do
[00:34.195]
[00:34.434]Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
[00:37.433]If I spring a leak she mends me
[00:40.933]I don't have to speak, she defends me
[00:44.185]A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
[00:50.943]
[00:51.193]Good luck had just stung me, to the race track I did go
[00:58.183]She bet on one horse to win and I bet on another to show
[01:04.441]The odds were in my favor, I had 'em five to one
[01:11.430]When that nag to win came around the track, sure enough she had won
[01:17.683]
[01:17.930]Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
[01:21.181]If I spring a leak she mends me
[01:24.433]I don't have to speak, she defends me
[01:27.688]A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
[01:34.681]
[01:34.681]I took up all of my winnings, and I gave my little Bessie half
[01:41.431]She tore it up and threw it in my face, just for a laugh
[01:47.693]Now there's one thing in the whole wide world, I sure would like to see
[01:54.195]That's when that little love of mine, dips her doughnut in my tea
[02:00.930]
[02:00.930]Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
[02:04.182]If I spring a leak she mends me
[02:07.431]I don't have to speak, she defends me
[02:10.683]A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
[02:17.682]
[02:17.682]Now me and my mate were back at the shack, we had Spike Jones on the box
[02:24.447]She said, "I can't take the way he sings, but I love to hear him talk"
[02:30.434]Now that just gave my heart a throb, to the bottom of my feet
[02:37.943]And I swore as I took another pull, my Bessie can't be beat
[02:43.945]
[02:44.182]Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
[02:47.695]If I spring a leak she mends me
[02:50.934]I don't have to speak, she defends me
[02:53.936]A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
[03:14.129]
[03:14.381]Now there's a flood out in California and up north it's freezing cold
[03:21.138]And this living on the road is getting pretty old
[03:27.379]So I guess I'll call up my big mama, tell her I'll be rolling in
[03:33.893]But you know, deep down, I'm kind of tempted to go and see my Bessie again
[03:40.638]
[03:40.882]Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
[03:44.138]If I spring a leak she mends me
[03:47.379]I don't have to speak, she defends me
[03:50.628]A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
