When I get off of this mountainYou know where I want to goStraight down the Mississippi RiverTo the Gulf of MexicoTo Lake George, LouisianaLittle Bessie, girl that I once knewAnd she told me just to come on by If there's anything she could do[Chorus]Up on Cripple Creek she sends meIf I spring a leak she mends meI don't have to speak she defends meA drunkard's dream if I ever did see oneGood luck had just stung meTo the race track I did goShe bet on one horse to winAnd I bet on another to showOdds were in my favorI had him five to oneWhen that nag came around the trackSure enough we had wonLetras de cancionesUp on Cripple Creek she sends meIf I spring a leak she mends meI don't have to speak she defends meA drunkard's dream if I ever did see oneI took up all of my winningsAnd I gave my little Bessie halfAnd she tore it up and blew it in my faceJust for a laughNow there's one thing in the whole wide worldI sure would like to seeThat's when that little love of mineDips her doughnut in my teaUp on Cripple Creek she sends meIf I spring a leak she mends meI don't have to speak she defends meA drunkard's dream if I ever did see oneNow me and my mate were back at the shackWe had Spike Jones on the boxShe said, "I can't take the way he singsBut I love to hear him talk"Now that just gave my heart a fallTo the bottom of my feetAnd I swore and I took another pullMy Bessie can't be beatUp on Cripple Creek she sends meIf I spring a leak she mends meI don't have to speak she defends meA drunkard's dream if I ever did see oneNow, there's a flood out in CaliforniaAnd up north it's freezing coldAnd this living off the roadIs getting pretty oldSo I guess I'll call up my big mamaTell her I'll be rolling inBut you know, deep down, I'm kinda temptedTo go and see my sweet Bessie againUp on Cripple Creek she sends meIf I spring a leak she mends meI don't have to speak she defends meA drunkard's dream if I ever did see one From Letras Mania
