作曲:

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 Charles Louisiana little Bessie

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 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

I bet on one horse to win and

I bet on another to show

The odds were in my favor she know i had five one

When that nag to win came around the track

Sure enough she had won

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

I took up all of my winnings

And I gave my little Bessie half

She tore it up and threw it in

My face just for a laugh

Now there's amazing hot to past wide I feel god

And I sure I on the other poor

My face came around the track

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

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 throb

I saw you love the thing

And I swore as I took another pull

My Bessie can't be beat

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

Now there's a flood out in

California and up north it's freezing cold

And this living on the road is getting pretty old

So I guess I'll call up my big mama

Tell her I'll be rolling in

But you know deep down

I'm kind of tempted to go and see my Bessie again

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
