up on cripple creek

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, a 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
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
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 to win came around the track
sure enough he had won

{refrain}

i took up all of my winnings
and i gave my little bessie half
and she tore it up and blew it in my face
just for a laugh

now there’s one thing in the whole wide world
i sure would like to see
that’s when that little love of mine
dips her doughnut in my tea

{refrain}

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 fall
to the bottom of my feet
and i swore as i took another pull
my bessie can’t be beat

{refrain}

now, it’s hot in california
and up north it’s freezing 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 go and see my bessie again

{refrain}
