But I get on with this mountain, _ [D] you know where I want to go. _ _
_ [A] _ Straight down [D] the Mississippi [E] River to the Gulf of Mexico, _ _
_ [A] Lake Charles, _ Louisiana, Little [D] Bessie girl, I once knew. _ _
_ [A] And she told me [D] just to come on [E] by, give us anything that she could [Bm] do. _
_ [A] Up on Cripple Creek, she sends [D] me if I spring a leak.
She invents [E] me, I don't have to speak, as she depends [F#m] me.
A sunburned stream, [Gm] if I ever [G] did she would. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] Good luck had just strung me [D] to the racetrack I did go. _ _
_ [A] _ She bet [D] on one horse to win [E] and I bet on another [Bm] to show. _
_ [A] My odds were in my favor, _ [D] I had them five to one.
_ [A] _ And that _ [D] nagrewin came [B] around [E] the track, sure enough we had won. _
_ [A] _ Up on Cripple Creek, she [D] sends me if I spring a leak.
She invents me, [E] I don't have to speak, as she [F#m] depends me.
A sunburned stream, [G] if I ever did she would. _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ [A] I took up all of my winning _ [D] and I gave my little Bessie half. _
_ [A] _ She tore [D] it up and threw it in [E] my face, just for laughs. _ _
[A] _ Now there's one thing in the whole [D] wide world I sure would like to see. _
_ [A] _ That's when [D] that little love of [E] mine, dips a donut in my teeth. _ _
_ [A] Up on Cripple Creek, she sends [D] me if I spring a leak.
She invents [E] me, I don't have to speak, as she [F#m] depends me.
A sunburned stream, [G] if I ever did she would.
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ [A] She and my mate were back at the shack, [D] we had Spike Jones on the bar. _
_ [A] She said I can't [F#m] take the way he sang, [E] but I love his music more. _ _
[Bm] [A] And that just gave my heart a throb [D] to the bottom of my face. _ _
_ _ [A] And I swore [D] as I took another pour, [E] my Bessie can't be beat.
[F#] _ _
[D] _ [A] Up on Cripple Creek, she sends [D] me if I spring a leak.
She invents [E] me, I don't have to speak, as she defends [F#m] me.
A sunburned stream, [G] if I ever did she would.
Oh, _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ oh, [D] oh, oh, _ [A] _ _ oh, oh, [D] _ _ _
_ [A] _ oh, oh, oh, [D] _ _
oh, oh, [A] _ _ oh, oh, [D] oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
_ [G] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ California, _ [D] and up north was freezing cold. _ _
_ [A] _ And this [D] living off the road, [E] is getting pretty old. _
So [A] I guess I call up my big momma, _ [D] tell her I've been rolling in. _ _
[A] But you know deep down [D] I'm kinda tempted [E] to go and see my best near again.
[A] _
_ Up on critical read, she [D] sends me if I sprang a leak.
She means [E] I don't have to scream.
She defends [F#m] me from her stream [G] if I ever need to see one.
_ No _ [G#] _
_ [A] _ _ _ [D] no no.
_ [A] No no [D] no. _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [A] No no [D] no. _ _
