[ti:Up On Cripple Creek] [ar:群星] [al:Woodstock Memories] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Up on Cripple Creek - The Band [00:07.90]When I get off of this mountain [00:11.09]You know where I want to go [00:14.53]Straight down the Mississippi river [00:17.60]To the Gulf of Mexico [00:21.15]To Lake Charles Louisiana [00:23.12]Little Bessie girl that I once knew [00:27.71]She told me just to come on by [00:31.06]If there's anything that she could do [00:34.45]Up on Cripple Creek she sends me [00:38.03]If I spring a leak she mends me [00:41.32]I don't have to speak as she defends me [00:44.87]A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one [00:50.45]Good luck had just stung me [00:54.26]To the race track I did go [00:57.98]She bet on one horse to win [01:01.25]And I bet on another to show [01:04.49]The odds were in my favor [01:07.71]I had 'em five to one [01:11.29]When that nag to win came around the track [01:15.03]Sure enough we had won [01:18.14]Up on Cripple Creek as she sends me [01:21.53]If I spring a leak as she mends me [01:24.73]I don't have to speak as she defends me [01:27.95]A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one [01:34.90]I took up all of my winnings [01:37.64]And I gave my little Bessie half [01:41.04]And she tore it up and threw it in my face [01:45.10]Just for a laugh [01:47.75]Now there's one thing in the whole wide world [01:50.93]I sure would like to see [01:54.20]That's when that little love of mine [01:57.64]Dips her doughnut in my tea [02:00.90]Up on Cripple Creek as she sends me [02:04.29]If I spring a leak as she mends me [02:07.74]I don't have to speak as she defends me [02:10.91]A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one [02:17.98]Now me and my mate were back at the shack [02:21.04]We had Spike Jones on the box [02:24.32]She said I can't take the way he sings [02:27.45]But I love to hear him talk [02:31.09]Now that just gave my heart a throb [02:34.37]To the bottom of my feet [02:37.40]And I swore as I took another pull [02:41.09]My Bessie can't be beat [02:44.37]Up on Cripple Creek as she sends me [02:47.70]If I spring a leak as she mends me [02:51.22]I don't have to speak as she defends me [02:54.35]A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one [03:14.31]As there's a flood out in California [03:17.25]And up North it's freezing cold [03:21.40]And this living on the road [03:24.31]Is getting pretty old [03:27.29]So I guess I'll call up my big mama [03:30.70]Tell her I'll be rolling in [03:34.09]But you know deep down [03:35.89]I'm kind of tempted [03:37.51]To go and see my Bessie again [03:40.89]Up on Cripple Creek she sends me [03:44.26]If I spring a leak she mends me [03:47.50]I don't have to speak she defends me [03:50.78]A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
