Up On Cripple Creek ~ The Band

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 And she told me just to come on by If there's anything she could do

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 'em five to one And that nag to win came around the track Sure enough we had won

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

I took up all of my winnings And I gave my little Bessie half And she tore it up and threw 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

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

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 throb To the bottom of my feet And I swore and I took another pull My Bessie can't be beat

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

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

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

Robbie Robertson, The Band Legend, Dies At 80

The Band lead guitarist Robbie Robertson has died at age 80.

“Robbie was surrounded by his family at the time of his death, including his wife, Janet, his ex-wife, Dominique, her partner Nicholas, and his children Alexandra, Sebastian, Delphine, and Delphine’s partner Kenny,” Jared Levine,  Robertson’s manager of 34 years, 0said in a statement. “He is also survived by his grandchildren Angelica, Donovan, Dominic, Gabriel, and Seraphina.”

Robertson recently worked on music for the upcoming “Killers of the Flower Moon.” His family asked that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Six Nations of the Grand River.

Well then, shit.

So the project in Texas isn’t done. To be fair they did have some bad weather last week. Plus last night a major storm came through.

So next week we’ll have the final punch list walk through….on Thursday?

That will be 5 weeks in a row of traveling for me. Hopefully, I can catch a small break, and settle down for a couple of weeks.

“…and this living off the road, is getting pretty old…”

I don't know why the urge struck me to look up this classic, but here's The Band performing Up on Cripple Creek from their movie, The Last Waltz. Fun fact, I met Gary Busey at the premire.

The Band "Up On Cripple Creek" on The Ed Sullivan Show

[levon]

the levon and bruce performance is so funny because bruce is clearly holding the lyrics on paper in his hands but still messes them up bc he’s looking at levon instead . gay ass.
