Up on Cripple Creek she sends me

Verse 7
F
Now me and my mate were back at the shack,
we had Spike Jones on the box

my Bessie can't be beat

Verse 9
Now 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
Verse 10
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
