Up On Cripple Creek - The Band (乐队)[00:00:00]
When I get off of this mountain[00:00:07]
You know where I want to go[00:00:11]
Straight down the Mississippi river[00:00:14]
To the Gulf of Mexico[00:00:17]
To Lake Charles Louisiana[00:00:21]
Little Bessie girl that I once knew[00:00:23]
She told me just to come on by[00:00:27]
If there's anything that she could do[00:00:31]
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me[00:00:34]
If I spring a leak she mends me[00:00:38]
I don't have to speak as she defends me[00:00:41]
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one[00:00:44]
Good luck had just stung me[00:00:50]
To the race track I did go[00:00:54]
She bet on one horse to win[00:00:57]
And I bet on another to show[00:01:01]
The odds were in my favor[00:01:04]
I had 'em five to one[00:01:07]
When that nag to win came around the track[00:01:11]
Sure enough we had won[00:01:15]
Up on Cripple Creek as she sends me[00:01:18]
If I spring a leak as she mends me[00:01:21]
I don't have to speak as she defends me[00:01:24]
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one[00:01:27]
I took up all of my winnings[00:01:34]
And I gave my little Bessie half[00:01:37]
And she tore it up and threw it in my face[00:01:41]
Just for a laugh[00:01:45]
Now there's one thing in the whole wide world[00:01:47]
I sure would like to see[00:01:50]
That's when that little love of mine[00:01:54]
Dips her doughnut in my tea[00:01:57]
Up on Cripple Creek as she sends me[00:02:00]
If I spring a leak as she mends me[00:02:04]
I don't have to speak as she defends me[00:02:07]
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one[00:02:10]
Now me and my mate were back at the shack[00:02:17]
We had Spike Jones on the box[00:02:21]
She said I can't take the way he sings[00:02:24]
But I love to hear him talk[00:02:27]
Now that just gave my heart a throb[00:02:31]
To the bottom of my feet[00:02:34]
And I swore as I took another pull[00:02:37]
My Bessie can't be beat[00:02:41]
Up on Cripple Creek as she sends me[00:02:44]
If I spring a leak as she mends me[00:02:47]
I don't have to speak as she defends me[00:02:51]
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one[00:02:54]
As there's a flood out in California[00:03:14]
And up North it's freezing cold[00:03:17]
And this living on the road[00:03:21]
Is getting pretty old[00:03:24]
So I guess I'll call up my big mama[00:03:27]
Tell her I'll be rolling in[00:03:30]
But you know deep down[00:03:34]
I'm kind of tempted[00:03:35]
To go and see my Bessie again[00:03:37]
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me[00:03:40]
If I spring a leak she mends me[00:03:44]
I don't have to speak she defends me[00:03:47]
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one[00:03:50]
