AD
When I get off of this mountain, you know where I want to go?
ADE
Straight down the Mississippi river, to the Gulf of Mexico
AD
To Lake Charles, Louisiana, little Bessie, girl that I once knew
ADE
She told me just to come on by, if there's anything she could do

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#mGA drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
AD
Good luck had just stung me, to the race track I did go
ADE
She bet on one horse to win and I bet on another to show
AD
The odds were in my favor, I had 'em five to one
ADE
When that nag to win came around the track, sure enough we had won
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#mGA drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
AD
I took up all of my winnings, and I gave my little Bessie half
ADE
And she tore it up and threw it in my face, just for a laugh
AD
Now there's one thing in the whole wide world, I sure do like to see
ADE
That's how that little sweet thing of mine, dips her doughnut in my tea
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#mGA drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
AD
Now me and my mate were back at the shack, we had Spike Jones on the box
ADE
She said, "I can't take the way he sings, but I love to hear him talk"
AD
Now that just gave my heart a throb, to the bottom of my feet
ADE
And I swore as I took another pull, my Bessie can't be beat
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#mGA drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
AD
Now there's a flood out in California and up north it's freezing cold
ADE
And this living off the road is getting pretty old
AD
So I guess I'll call up my big mama, tell her I'll be rolling in
AD
But you know, deep down, I'm kind of tempted
E
To go and see my Bessie again.
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#mGA drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
