Levon Helm, Rick Danko, Robbie Robertson, Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel "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, a girl that I once knew And she told me just to come on by If the
res anything she could do Up on cripple creek she sends me If I spring a leak she mends me I dont have to speak she defends me A drunkards 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 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 theres one thing in the whole wide world I sure would like to see Thats when that litt
le love of mine Dips her doughnut in my tea Now me and my mate were back at the shack We had spike jones on the box She said, I cant 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 cant be beat
Now, its hot in california And up north its freezing cold And this living off the road Is getting pretty old So I guess Ill call up my big mama Tell her Ill be rolling in Bet you know, deep down, Im kinda tempted To go and see my bessie again"
