Up On Cripple Creek

The Band
 When I Get Off Of This Mountain
 You Know Where I Want To Go
 Straight Down The Mississippi River
 To The Gulf Of Mexico
 To Lake George Louisiana
 Little Bessie Girl That I Once Knew
 And She Told Me Just To Come On By
 If There's Anything She Could Do
 Up On Cripple Creek She Sends Me
 If I Spring A Leak She Mends Me
 I Don't Have To Speak 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
 She Bet On One Horse To Win
 And I Bet On Another To Show
 Odds Were In My Favor
 I Had Him Five To One
 When That Nag Came Around The Track
 Sure Enough He Had Won
 I Took Up All Of My Winnings
 And I Gave My Little Bessie Half
 And She Tore It Up And Blew It In My Face
 Just For A Laugh
 Now There's One Thing In The Whole Wide World
 I Sure Would Like To See
 That's When That Little Love Of Mine
 Dips Her Doughnut In My Tea
 Now Me And My Mate Were Back At The Shack
 We Had Spike Jones On The Box
 She Said I Can't Take The Way He Sings
 But I Love To Hear Him Talk
 Now That Just Gave My Heart A Fall
 To The Bottom Of My Feet
 And I Swore And I Took Another Pull
 My Bessie Can't Be Beat
 Now It's Hot In California
 And Up North It's Pretty Cold
 And This Living Off The Road
 Is Getting Pretty Old
 So I Guess I'll Call Up My Big Mama
 Tell Her I'll Be Rolling In
 Bet You Know Deep Down I'm Kinda Tempted
 To See My Sweet Bessie Again
