How To Build The Coin Pusher

Up on Cripple Creek - Band



When these mountains
let you know where I want to go?
go down the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico


A Lake Charles, Louisiana
the little Bessie, a girl who knew
and told me to go and see
if you need it.


{Chorus} She sends me up in Cripple Creek
If I give you a repair
me I need not speak, because she defends
a drunkard's dream if I ever had a

Good I had just
fate smiled on the race I witnessed
you bet on a winning horse
I on another, placed

The odds were on my side,
mine was given a five to
when that horse finished the track,
pretty sure he had won {Refrain}



withdrew my winnings and I gave my little Bessie half
She pulled me around and threw him in the face


Just to laugh Now there's one thing in the whole wide world that I would really see

is when my little love
dip your donut in my tea
{Chorus}

Me and my mate were back at the den
Spike Jones radio broadcast
she said, "I do not like singing but I
polite to hear him speak "

This was enough to make me plunge into the heart

to the foot and swore, as I took another droplets,
my Bessie did not beat anyone


{Refrain} Lo, lo, oo hoo .. .

In California there is a flood
up north is a cold that freezes
and this life is passing me
stray a bit 'fashion

So I guess I'll call my mamy
telling her that happen again those parts
But, deep down, I am tempted to return
from my Bessie again {Refrain}


Lo, lo, oo hoo ..


When I get off of this mountain
You know where I want to go
Straight down the Mississippi river
To the Gulf of Mexico

To Lake Charles, Louisiana
Little Bessie, girl that I once knew
And she told me just to come on by
If there's anything she could do

{Refrain}
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


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

Odds were in my favor
I had him five to one
When that nag to win came around the track
Sure enough he had won


{Refrain}
I took up all of my winnings
And I gave my little Bessie half
And she tore it up and blew it in my face
Just for a laugh

Now 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

{Refrain}
Now me and my mate were back at the shack
We had 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 pour
My Bessie can't be beat

{Refrain}
Lo, lo, oo hoo...

Now, there's a flood out in California
And up north it's freezing cold
And this living off 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 kinda tempted
To go and see my Bessie again

{Refrain}
Lo, lo, oo hoo..
