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
{Refrain}
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
If I spring a leak she mends me
Everybody's going downtown tonight to take a big bath in the sugary light but I don't give a damn about the main attraction 'cause I walk to slow for that modern action We're gonna g
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
{Refrain}
I took up all of my winnings
And I gave my little Bessie half

But I love to hear him talk"
Now that just gave my hear

To the bottom of my feet
And I swore and I took another pull
My Bessie can't be beat
{Refrain}
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
{Refrain}
