Up On Cripple Creek

Robbie Robertson

[Verse 1: Jensen Ackles]
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, Louisiana
Little Bessie, girl that I once knew
She told me just to come on by
If there's anything that 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: Mark Pellegrino]
Good luck had just stung me
And 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 him five to one
When that nag to win came around the track
Sure enough, we had won

[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 3: Rob Benedict]
Well, I took up all of my winnings
And I gave my little Bessie half
She tore it up and blew it in my face
Just for a laugh
Now there's just one thing in the whole wide world
I would like to see
That's when that little love of mine
She dips her doughnut 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

[Verse 4: Richard Speight, Jr.]
Now me and my mate we head back at the shack
We got 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 as I took another pull
My Bessie can't be beat
Oh Lord, she can't

[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

[Instrumental]

[Verse 5: Jason Manns]
There's a flood out in California
Up north it's freezing cold
This living on the road is getting pretty old
So I guess I'll call on 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, yeah

[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

[Outro]
