Lyrics
[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]
