letra de up on cripple creek (live at the royal albert hall, june 1971) - the band

[verse 1]
when i get off of this mountain
you know where i wanna go?
straight down the mississippi river
to the gulf of mexico
to lake charles, lousiana-ah
little bessie girl i once knew
she told me just to come on by
if there’s anything she could do

[chorus]
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

[verse 2]
a-good luck had just stung me
so to the racetrack i did go
i bеt on one horse to win
and she bеt on another to show
the odds were in my favour
i had ’em five-to-one
and that nag to win came around the track
me and little bessie had won
[chorus]
i’m goin’ 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

[verse 3]
so i picked up all of my winnings
ad i gave my little bessie half
she tore it up and threw it in my face
a-just for a laugh
now, there’s one thing in the whole wide world
i sure do love to see
that’s when that little love of mine
puts her donut in my tea

[chorus]
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

[break]

[verse 4]
well, there’s a flood out in california
and up north it’s freezin’ cold
and this livin’ off the road
is gettin’ pretty old
so i guess i’ll call up my big mama
tell her i’ll be rollin’ in
but you know, deep down, i’m kind of tempted
to go see my bessie again
[chorus]
i’m goin’ 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

[outro]
-yodelling-
yeah yeah, i wish i could yodel like her
