Ar visāmi bitītēm.

Tek gar malu raudādama.
Ziedu svārki mugurāi,
Vaska cimdi rociņā.
Trūka, trūka tev, bitītē,
Ja tev trūka, trūkst man ar.
Ja tev trūka sila ziedu,
Trūkst man vaska ritulīša.

Verse 1
7 7 7 7 -7 -7 -7 -6
I never thought it would happen
-6 -6 -6 6 6 -5 -5 5
With me and a girl from Clapham
5 5 -4 -4 4 -4 -3b
Out on the windy common
4 -4 4 -4 4 -4 5
That night I aint forgotten
7 7 -7 -7 -6 -7 -6
When she dealt out the rations
-6 -6 6 6 -5 -5 5
With some or other passions
5 5 -4 -4 4 -4 -3b
I said «You are a la-dy»
4 -4 4 -4 4 -4 5
«Perhaps» she said » I may-be»
Verse 2 (Same Tune)
We moved into a basement
With thoughts of our engagement
We stayed in by the telly
Although the room was smelly
We spent our time just kissin’
The Runway Arms we missin’
But love had got us hooked up
And all our time it took up
Verse 3
7 7 -7 -7 -7 -7 -6
I got a job with Stanly
-6 -6 6 6 -5 -5 5
He said I’d come in handy
5 5 -4 -4 4 -4 -3b
And started me on Monday
-4 4 -4 4 -4 4 -4 5
So I had a bath on Sunday
7 7 -7 -7 -7 -7 -6
I worked e-le-ven hours
-6 -6 6 6 -5 -5 5
And bought the girl some flowers
5 5 -4 -4 4 -4 -3b
She said she’d seen a doctor
4 -4 4 -4 4 -4 5
And nothing now could stop her~~~
Verse 4
-6 -6 -6 -7 7 -7 6
I worked all through the winter
6 6 6 -6 -7 -6 -5
The weather brass and bitter
-6 -5 -5 6 -6 6 -5
I put away a tenner
-4 -4 -4 5 -4 -5 -5
Each week to make it better
-7 -7 -7 7 -8 7 -6
And when the time was ready
-6 -6 -6 -7 7 -7 6
We had to sell the telly
-5 6 6 -6 -7 -6 -5
Make evenings by the fi-re
-4 5 -4 5 -4 5 -5
And little kicks in-side her~~~
Verse 5
-7 -7 -6 -6 -6 -6 6
This morning at four fifty
6 6 -5 -5 5 5 -4
I took her rather nifty
-4 -4 4 4 -3 4 3
Down to an in-cu-ba-tor
-3 4 -3 4 -3 4 -4
‘Bout thirty minutes la-ter
-7 -7 -6 -6 6 -6 6
She gave birth to a daughter
6 6 -5 -5 5 5 -4
Within a year a walker
-4 -4 4 4 -3 4 3
She looked just like her mother
-3 4 -3 4 -3 4 -4
If there could be an-oth-er
Verse 6
7 7 -7 -7 -7 -7 -6
And now shes two years old-er
-6 -6 6 6 -5 -5 5
Her mothers with a soldier
5 5 -4 -4 4 -4 -3b
She left me when my drinking
4 -4 4 -4 4 -4 5
Became a proper stinging
7 7 -7 -7 -7 -7 -6
The devil came and took me
-6 -6 6 6 -5 -5 5
From bar to street to bookie
5 5 -4 -4 4 -4 -3b
No more nights by the telly
4 -4 4 -4 4 -4 5
No more nights nappy smel-ling~~~~
Verse 7 (Same tune)
Alone here in the kitchen
I feel there’s something missing
I’d beg for some forgiveness
But begging’s not my business
And she won’t write a letter
Although I always tell her
And so it’s my a*sumption
I’m really up the junction

ya know where I wan-na go?

Lit-tle Bes-sie, girl I once knew
-3 4* 4* 4* -3 -2* 4* 4* -2*
And she told me just to come on by,
-3 -2* -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -3 4*
if there’s an-y-thing that she could do
-3 -3 -3 -2* -3 -3 4* -4
Up on Crip-ple Creek she sends me

If I spring a leak she mends me

I don’t have to speak,
-3 -4 -4 3* 2
‘Cause she de-fends me
2 4* 4* 4* -3-3 -5 -5 -5 -4 3*
A drunk-ard’s dream if I ev-er 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
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
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.
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

This is a neat adaptation of Psalm 25 I first heard in Bible College.
