Band, The - Cripple Creek слова песни
When I get off of this mountain, you know where I want to go?Straight down the Mississippi river, to the Gulf of MexicoTo Lake Charles, Louisiana, little Bessie, girl that I once knewShe told me just to come on by, if there`s anything she could doUp on Cripple Creek she sends meIf I spring a leak she mends meI don`t have to speak, she defends meA drunkard`s dream if I ever did see oneGood luck had just stung me, to the race track I did goShe bet on one horse to win and I bet on another to showThe odds were in my favor, I had `em five to oneWhen that nag to win came around the track, sure enough she had wonUp on Cripple Creek she sends meIf I spring a leak she mends meI don`t have to speak, she defends meA drunkard`s dream if I ever did see oneI took up all of my winnings, and I gave my little Bessie halfAnd she tore it up and threw it in my face, just for a laughNow there`s one thing in the whole wide world, I sure would like to seeThat`s when that little love of mine, dips her doughnut in my teaUp on Cripple Creek she sends meIf I spring a leak she mends meI don`t have to speak, she defends meA drunkard`s dream if I ever did see oneNow me and my mate were back at the shack, we had Spike Jones on the boxShe said, "I can`t 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 feetAnd I swore and I took another pull, my Bessie can`t be beatUp on Cripple Creek she sends meIf I spring a leak she mends meI don`t have to speak, she defends meA drunkard`s dream if I ever did see oneNow there`s a flood out in California and up north it`s freezing coldAnd this living on the road is getting pretty oldSo I guess I`ll call up my big mama, tell her I`ll be rolling inBut you know, deep down, I`m kind of temptedTo go and see my Bessie again.Up on Cripple Creek she sends meIf I spring a leak she mends meI don`t have to speak, she defends meA drunkard`s dream if I ever did see one
