Band, The ~ Up On Cripple Creek


A d When i get off of this mountain, you know where i want to go? A d e Straight down the mississippi river, to the gulf of mexico A d To lake charles, louisiana, little bessie, girl that i once knew A d e She told me just to come on by, if there's anything she could do Refrain: A Up on cripple creek she sends me D If i spring a leak she mends me E I don't have to speak, she defends me F#m g 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 The odds were in my favor, i had 'em five to one When that nag to win came around the track, sure enough she had won (refrain) 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 (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 throb, to the bottom of my feet And i swore and i took another pull, my bessie can't be beat (refrain) Now there's a flood out in california and up north it's freezing cold And this living on 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 kind of tempted To go and see my bessie again.

A d
When i get off of this mountain, you know where i want to go?
A d e
Straight down the mississippi river, to the gulf of mexico
A d
To lake charles, louisiana, little bessie, girl that i once knew
A d e
She told me just to come on by, if there's anything she could do

Refrain:

A
Up on cripple creek she sends me
D
If i spring a leak she mends me
E
I don't have to speak, she defends me
F#m g
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
The odds were in my favor, i had 'em five to one
When that nag to win came around the track, sure enough she had won

(refrain)

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

(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 throb, to the bottom of my feet
And i swore and i took another pull, my bessie can't be beat

(refrain)

Now there's a flood out in california and up north it's freezing cold
And this living on 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 kind of tempted
To go and see my bessie again.

(refrain)

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
