When I get off of this mountainYou know where I want to goStraight down the Mississippi riverTo the Gulf of MexicoTo Lake Charles LouisianaLittle Bessie, girl that I once knewShe told me just to come on byIf there's anything that she could doUp on Cripple Creek, she sends meIf I spring a leak, she mends meI don't have to speak, as 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 showThe odds were in my favorI had 'em five to oneWhen that nag to win came around the trackSure enough we had wonUp on Cripple Creek, as she sends meIf I spring a leak, as she mends meI don't have to speak, as she defends meLetras de cancionesA 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 threw 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, as she sends meIf I spring a leak, as she mends meI don't have to speak, as 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 throbTo the bottom of my feetAnd I swore as I took another pullMy Bessie can't be beatUp on Cripple Creek, as she sends meIf I spring a leak, as she mends meI don't have to speak, as she defends meA drunkard's dream if I ever did see oneAs there's a flood out in CaliforniaAnd up North it's freezing coldAnd this living on the roadIs getting pretty oldSo I guess, I'll call up my big mamaTell her I'll be rolling inBut you know, deep downI'm kind of temptedTo go and see my 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
