When AI get off of this mountain, you knDow where I want to go? AStraight down the MDississippi River to the GEulf of Mexico. ATo Lake Charles, Louisianna, little BDessie, a girl who I once knew. AShe told me just to cDome on by if there's aEnything that she could do.
CHORUS:
AUp on Cripple Creek, she sends me. DIf I spring a leak, she mends me. EI don't have to speak, she defends me.
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. The odds were in my favor, I had them five to one. That nag to win came around the track, sure enough she had won. CHORUS:... I took up all of my winnings and I gave little Bessie half. She tore it up and threw it in my face just for a laugh. 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. CHORUS:... Me and my mate we were back at the shack, we had Spike Jones on the box. She says, "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 feet. And I swore as I took another pull, my Bessie can't be beat. CHORUS:... Jódlovat a hrát: A D A D There's a flood out in California and up north it's freezing cold. And this living on the road is getting pretty old. So I guess I'll call up my big mama, tell her I'll be rolling in. But you know, deep down, I'm kind of tempted to go and see my Bessie again.
