[Verse]

         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, Louisianna, little Bessie, a girl who I once knew.
A                              D                              E
She told me just to come on by if there's anything that 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.

[Verse]
A                                                      D
Good luck had just stung me, to the race track I did go.
A                D                                 E
She bet on one horse to win and I bet on another to show.
        A                                   D
The odds were in my favor, I had them five to one.
A                 D                                         E
That nag to win came around the track, sure enough she had won.

[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.

[Verse]
   A                                                 D
I took up all of my winnings and I gave little Bessie half.
A                            D                          E
She tore it up and threw it in my face just for a laugh.
        A                                                             D
And there's one thing in the whole wide world I sure would like to see.
A                                 D                               E
that's when that little love of mine dips her doughnut in my tea.

[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.

[Verse]
A                                                                                D
Me and my mate we were back at the shack, we had Spike Jones on the box.
A                                      D                            E
She says, "I can't take the way he sings, but I love to hear him talk."
         A                                                           D
Now that just gave my heart a throb to the bottom of my feet.
A                         D                               E
And I swore as I took another pull, my Bessie can't be beat.
