You know where I want to go |
Lee Brilleaux  | 25 May 2009 5:18 p.m. PST |
Straight down the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico. |
| Steve Johnson | 25 May 2009 5:35 p.m. PST |
To Lake Charles, Louisiana
Little Bessie, girl that I once knew |
| John the OFM | 25 May 2009 6:29 p.m. PST |
And she told me just to come on by
If there's anything she could do |
| Lee Brilleaux | 25 May 2009 8:58 p.m. PST |
Up on Cripple Creek, she sends me |
| Ed Mohrmann | 26 May 2009 3:48 a.m. PST |
If I spring a leak, she defends me |

If I spring a leak, she mends me
I don't have to speak, she defends me |
| Lee Brilleaux | 26 May 2009 7:35 a.m. PST |
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one |
| Steve Johnson | 26 May 2009 10:01 a.m. PST |
Good luck had just stung me
To the race track I did go |
| John the OFM | 26 May 2009 3:32 p.m. PST |
She bet on one horse to win
And I bet on another to show |
| Lee Brilleaux | 26 May 2009 8:56 p.m. PST |
Luck was in my favour, I had 'em five to one |
| zippyfusenet | 27 May 2009 4:35 a.m. PST |
When that nag to win came around the track,
Sho' 'nuff, we had won! |
| Lee Brilleaux | 27 May 2009 8:12 a.m. PST |
Can I just say "Repeat Chorus" and make some twangy noises before we go to the next verse?
I took up all of my winnings
And I gave my little Bessie half |
| zippyfusenet | 27 May 2009 9:57 a.m. PST |
And she tore them up and threw them in my face
Just for a laugh |
| John the OFM | 27 May 2009 3:05 p.m. PST |
Now there's one thing in the whole wide world
I sure would like to see
((Sure, MJS. Twang away.))
