Description:
UP ON CRIPPLE CREEKThe BandThe Band (1970)When I get off of this mountain, you know where I want to go?Straight down the Mississippi river, to the Gulf of MexicoTo Lake Charles, Louisiana, little Bessie, girl that I once knewShe told me just to come on by, if there's anything she could doUp on Cripple Creek she sends meIf I spring a leak she mends meI don't have to speak, she defends meA drunkard's dream if I ever did see oneGood luck had just stung me, to the race track I did goShe bet on one horse to win and I bet on another to showThe odds were in my favor, I had 'em five to oneWhen that nag to win came around the track, sure enough she had wonUp on Cripple Creek she sends meIf I spring a leak she mends meI don't have to speak, she defends meA drunkard's dream if I ever did see oneI took up all of my winnings, and I gave my little Bessie halfAnd she tore it up and threw it in my face, just for a laughNow there's one thing in the whole wide world, I sure would like to seeThat's when that little love of mine, dips her doughnut in my teaUp on Cripple Creek she sends meIf I spring a leak she mends meI don't have to speak, she defends meA drunkard's dream if I ever did see oneNow me and my mate were back at the shack, we had Spike Jones on the boxShe said, "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 feetAnd I swore and I took another pull, my Bessie can't be beatUp on Cripple Creek she sends meIf I spring a leak she mends meI don't have to speak, she defends meA drunkard's dream if I ever did see oneNow there's a flood out in California and up north it's freezing coldAnd this living on the road is getting pretty oldSo I guess I'll call up my big mama, tell her I'll be rolling inBut you know, deep down, I'm kind of tempted To go and see my Bessie again.Up on Cripple Creek she sends meIf I spring a leak she mends meI don't have to speak, she defends meA drunkard's dream if I ever did see one

Nov 27, 2011 - @DWSimmy So original to see a person randomly hate on something for making a comment. I have never seen anyone do that! So refreshing. Thanks for making a random hateful reply comment. Again, I have never seen anyone do that before on youtube. Genuis, and not annoying or irritating at all.

Dec 25, 2011 - @butterfly000music lol me too, and i did some research, it's called a clavinet. it's the same thing used in Led Zeppelin's "Custard Pie" and Stevie Wonder's "Superstition"

Jan 3, 2012 - 1969, what a fabulous time for music. Unfortunately those days are gone and music like this will never be recorded again.

Jan 10, 2012 - It's funny when some of the comments say "play that funky music". The Band is basically playing cowboy music with a funk influence. Odd but who cares, this song is groovy.

Jan 30, 2012 - @shiftedx2 I disagree, not that his "take" is bad, but I've never heard his "take" on the radio, so I'm accustomed to this version, and I like it better.
