The Band
When I get off of this mountain
You know where I
want to go
Straight down the Mississippi river
To the Gulf of Mexico
To Lake George,
Louisiana
Little Bessie, girl that I once knew
And she told me just to come on by
If
there's anything she could do
{Refrain}
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
Good luck had just stung me
To the race track I did go
She bet on one horse
to win
And I bet on another to show
Odds were in my favor
I had him five to one
When that nag came around the track
Sure enough he had won
{Refrain}
I took up all of
my winnings
And I gave my little Bessie half
And she tore it up and blew it in my
face
Just for a lauge
Now there's one thing in the whole wide world
I sure would like
to see
That's when that little love of mine
Dips her doughnut in my tea
{Refrain}
Now me and my mate were back at the shack
We had Spike Jones on the box
She
said, "I can't take the way he sings
But I love to hear him talk"
Now that just gave my
heart a fall
To the bottom of my feet
And I swore and I took another pull
My Bessie
can't be beat
{Refrain}
Now, it's hot in California
And up north it's pretty
cold
And this living off the road
Is getting pretty old
So I guess I'll call up my
big mama
Tell her I'll be rolling in
Bet you know, deep down, I'm kinda tempted
To
see my sweet Bessie again
{Refrain} | | | |
