When I get off of this mountain, you know where I want to go?
A augmentedA D MajorD 
E MajorE
Straight down the Mississippi river, to the Gulf of Mexico
A augmentedA D MajorD
To Lake Charles, Louisiana, little Bessie, girl that I once knew
A augmentedA D MajorD E MajorE
She told me just to come on by, if there's anything she could do
A augmentedA
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
D MajorD
If I spring a leak she mends me
E MajorE
I don't have to speak, she defends me
F# minorF#m 
G+G
A augmentedA drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
A augmentedA D MajorD
Good luck had just stung me, to the race track I did go
A augmentedA D MajorD E MajorE
She bet on one horse to win and I bet on another to show
A augmentedA D MajorD
The odds were in my favor, I had 'em five to one
A augmentedA D MajorD E MajorE
When that nag to win came around the track, sure enough we had won
A augmentedA
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
D MajorD
If I spring a leak she mends me
E MajorE
I don't have to speak, she defends me
F# minorF#m G+G
A augmentedA drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
A augmentedA D MajorD
I took up all of my winnings, and I gave my little Bessie half
A augmentedA D MajorD E MajorE
And she tore it up and threw it in my face, just for a laugh
A augmentedA D MajorD
Now there's one thing in the whole wide world, I sure do like to see
A augmentedA D MajorD E MajorE
That's how that little sweet thing of mine, dips her doughnut in my tea
A augmentedA
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
D MajorD
If I spring a leak she mends me
E MajorE
I don't have to speak, she defends me
F# minorF#m G+G
A augmentedA drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
A augmentedA D MajorD
Now me and my mate were back at the shack, we had Spike Jones on the box
A augmentedA D MajorD E MajorE
She said, "I can't take the way he sings, but I love to hear him talk"
A augmentedA D MajorD
Now that just gave my heart a throb, to the bottom of my feet
A augmentedA D MajorD E MajorE
And I swore as I took another pull, my Bessie can't be beat
A augmentedA
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
D MajorD
If I spring a leak she mends me
E MajorE
I don't have to speak, she defends me
F# minorF#m G+G
A augmentedA drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
A augmentedA D MajorD
Now there's a flood out in California and up north it's freezing cold
A augmentedA D MajorD E MajorE
And this living off the road is getting pretty old
A augmentedA D MajorD
So I guess I'll call up my big mama, tell her I'll be rolling in
A augmentedA D MajorD
But you know, deep down, I'm kind of tempted
E MajorE
To go and see my Bessie again.
A augmentedA
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
D MajorD
If I spring a leak she mends me
E MajorE
I don't have to speak, she defends me
F# minorF#m G+G
A augmentedA drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
