作词：佚名

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 anything that she could do

Up on Cripple Creek she sends me

If I spring a leak she mends me

I don have to speak as she defends me

A drunkard 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

The odds were in my favor

I had five to one

When that nag to win came around the track

Sure enough we had won

Up on Cripple Creek as she sends me

If I spring a leak as she mends me

I don have to speak as she defends me

A drunkard dream if I ever did see one

I took up all of my winnings

And I gave my little Bessie half

And she tore it up and threw it in my face

Just for a laugh

Now there one thing in the whole wide world

I sure would like to see

That when that little love of mine

Dips her doughnut in my tea

Up on Cripple Creek as she sends me

If I spring a leak as she mends me

I don have to speak as she defends me

A drunkard 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 take the way he sings

But I love to hear him talk

Now that just gave my heart a throb

To the bottom of my feet

And I swore as I took another pull

My Bessie can be beat

Up on Cripple Creek as she sends me

If I spring a leak as she mends me

I don have to speak as she defends me

A drunkard dream if I ever did see one

As there a flood out in California

And up North it freezing cold

And this living on the road

Is getting pretty old

So I guess I call up my big mama

Tell her I be rolling in

But you know deep down

I 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 have to speak she defends me

A drunkard dream if I ever did see one
