About the Artist
Lyrics
Yeah when I get off of this mountain Tell her how to go Straight to the Mississippi River To the Gulf of Mexico Yeah to Lake Charles, Louisiana Little Bessie, a girl that I once knew She told me just to come on by If there's anything she could do Up on Cripple Creek she send me If I spring a leak she mends me I don't have to speak 'cause she defends me A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one Good luck had just stung me To the race track I did go Yeah i bet on one horse to win And she bet on another to show The odds were in my favor So I gave my little Bessie half When that nag to win came around the track It really chapped my ass Up on Cripple Creek she send me If I spring a leak she mends me I don't have to speak 'cause she defends me A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one I took up all of my winnings And I gave my little Bessie half Yeah she tore it up and threw it in my face You know just for a laugh Yeah but there's one thing in the whole wide world I sure would like to see It's when that little love of mine Puts her doughnut in my tea Up on Cripple Creek she send me If I spring a leak she mends me I don't have to speak 'cause she defends me A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one Well me and my mate were back at the shack We had Spike Jones on the box She said, "I can't stand to hear him sing But I sure love to hear him talk" Now that just gave my heart a fall To the bottom of my feet And I swore as I took another pull My Bessie can't be beat Up on Cripple Creek she send me If I spring a leak she mends me I don't have to speak 'cause she defends me A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one Yeah a flood out in California Up in Canada it's freezin' cold And this livin' out on the road Well it's gettin' pretty old So I guess I'll call up my big mama And tell her I'll be movin' in Bet deep down, deep down you know I'm kinda tempted To go see my Bessie again Up on Cripple Creek she send me If I spring a leak she mends me I don't have to speak 'cause she defends me A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one Yeah up on Cripple Creek she send me If I spring a leak she mends me I don't have to speak 'cause she defends me A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
