《Up on Cripple Creek (Live)》歌词

[00:00:07] Up On Cripple Creek -The Band

[00:00:08] When I get off of this mountain you know where I want to go

[00:00:15] Straight down the Mississippi river to the Gulf of Mexico

[00:00:22] To Lake Charles Louisiana little Bessie girl that I once knew

[00:00:29] She told me just to come on by if there's anything she could do

[00:00:36] Up on Cripple Creek she sends me

[00:00:40] If I spring a leak she mends me

[00:00:44] I don't have to speak she defends me

[00:00:47] A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one

[00:00:55] Good luck had just stung me to the race track I did go

[00:01:02] She bet on one horse to win and I bet on another to show

[00:01:09] The odds were in my favor I had 'em five to one

[00:01:17] When that nag to win came around the track sure enough she had won

[00:01:24] Up on Cripple Creek she sends me

[00:01:28] If I spring a leak she mends me

[00:01:31] I don't have to speak she defends me

[00:01:35] A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one

[00:01:43] I took up all of my winnings and I gave my little Bessie half

[00:01:50] She tore it up and threw it in my face just for a laugh

[00:01:58] Now there's one thing in the whole wide world I sure would like to see

[00:02:05] That's when that little love of mine dips her doughnut in my tea

[00:02:12] Up on Cripple Creek she sends me

[00:02:16] If I spring a leak she mends me

[00:02:20] I don't have to speak she defends me

[00:02:23] A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one

[00:02:45] Now me and my mate were back at the shack we had Spike Jones on the box

[00:02:53] She said "I can't take the way he sings but I love to hear him talk"

[00:02:58] Now that just gave my heart a throb to the bottom of my feet

[00:03:08] And I swore as I took another pull my Bessie can't be beat

[00:03:16] Up on Cripple Creek she sends me

[00:03:20] If I spring a leak she mends me

[00:03:23] I don't have to speak she defends me

[00:03:27] A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one

[00:03:34] Now there's a flood out in California and up north it's freezing cold

[00:03:42] And this living on the road is getting pretty old

[00:03:49] So I guess I'll call up my big mama tell her I'll be rolling in

[00:03:57] But you know deep down I'm kind of tempted to go and see my Bessie again

[00:04:04] Up on Cripple Creek she sends me

[00:04:08] If I spring a leak she mends me

[00:04:12] I don't have to speak she defends me

[00:04:15] A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
