歌词
When I get off of this mountain
当我驶下这座山
You know where I want to go?
你知道我想去哪里
Straight down the Mississippi river
沿着密西西比河笔直地往下走
To the Gulf of Mexico
驶向墨西哥湾
To Lake Charles, Louisiana
到达路易斯安那州的莱克乔治城
Little Bessie, girl that I once knew
找到小贝西，那之前就和我相熟的女孩
She told me just to come on by, if there's anything she could do
她告诉我直接到她身边就好，她会看看自己是否能为我做些什么
她送我驶上克里普尔克里克
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
如果我的车突然漏油，她会为我修补的
If I spring a leak she mends me
毋庸多言她会守护我的
I don't have to speak, she defends me
当然如果我知道这词的话我会说这只是痴人说梦罢了
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
我突然撞大运了，在我下注的赛马比赛上
我赌其中的一只会赢，赌另一个会大放异彩
Good luck had just stung me, to the race track I did go
我钟情于奇数，所以我在他上押了五倍
I bet on one horse to win and I bet on another to show
当所有马开始沿着跑道奔跑的时候，很明显他赢啦
The odds were in my favor, I had 'em five to one
她送我驶上克里普尔克里克
When that nag to win came around the track, sure enough I had won
如果我的车突然漏油，她会为我修补的
毋庸多言她会守护我的
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
当然如果我知道这词的话我会说这只是痴人说梦罢了
If I spring a leak she mends me
我拿着赌马赢的所有钱
I don't have to speak, she defends me
把其中的一半分给了我的小贝西
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
她把那些钱撕碎了甩到我脸上，只为了呵呵一笑
现在在这广阔的世界上，只有一件事我实在想看到
I took up all of my winnings
就是当我的小爱人，在我的茶中蘸炸面圈的样子
And I gave my little Bessie half
她送我驶上克里普尔克里克
And she tore it up and threw it in my face, just for a laugh
如果我的车突然漏油，她会为我修补的
Now there's one thing in the whole wide world, I sure would like to see
毋庸多言她会守护我的
That's when that little love of mine, dips her doughnut in my tea
当然如果我知道这词的话我会说这只是痴人说梦罢了
现在我和贝西在窝棚里背靠背坐着
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
唱机里放着斯派克·琼斯的歌
If I spring a leak she mends me
她说，“我受不了他唱歌的方式，但我喜欢听他说话”
I don't have to speak, she defends me
当时我就心头一沉，一直沉到脚底
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
我骂了一句然后换了张新碟片，我的贝西才不会这种小事被打败
她送我驶上克里普尔克里克
Now me and my mate were back at the shack
如果我的车突然漏油，她会为我修补的
We had Spike Jones on the box
毋庸多言她会守护我的
She said, "I can't take the way he sings, but I love to hear him talk"
当然如果我知道这词的话我会说这只是痴人说梦罢了
Now that just gave my heart a fall, to the bottom of my feet
现在加利福利亚那边发了洪水，往北走却非常寒冷
And I swore and I took another pull, my little Bessie can't be beat
路上的生活也越来越与以往无异
所以我猜我该给我的大妈妈打电话了，就告诉她我被卷入这鬼天气中了
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
不过实际上，你知道我只是被一件事所诱惑
If I spring a leak she mends me
那就是和我可爱的贝西再次相见
I don't have to speak, she defends me
她送我驶上克里普尔克里克
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
如果我的车突然漏油，她会为我修补的
毋庸多言她会守护我的
Now there's a flood out in California and up north it's freezing cold
当然如果我知道这词的话我会说这只是痴人说梦罢了
And this living on the road is getting pretty old
I guess I'll call up my big mama, tell her I'll be rolling in
But deep down, I'm kind of tempted you know
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
~~end~~
