Verse 1
A
When I get off of this mountain,
D
you know where I want to go?

Straight down the Mississippi river,
A
To Lake Charles, Louisiana,
D
little Bessie, girl that I once knew
A
D
She told me just to come on by,
E
E7
if there's anything she could do
Chorus 1
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 2
A
Good luck had just stung me,
D
to the race track I did go
A
D
She bet on one horse to win
E
and I bet on another to show
A
The odds were in my favor,
A
D
When that nag to win
came around the track,
E
E7
sure enough she 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#m
G
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
Verse 3
A
I took up all of my winnings,
D
and I gave my little Bessie half
A
D
She tore it up and threw it in my face,
A
Now there's one thing in the whole wide world
D
I sure would like to see
A
D
That's when that little love of mine,
E
E7
dips her doughnut in my tea
Chorus 3
A
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me

If I spring a leak she mends me
E
I don't have to speak, she defends me

Verse 4
A
Now me and my mate were back at the shack,
D
we had Spike Jones on the box
A
D
She said, "I can't take the way he sings,
E
but I love to hear him talk"
A
Now that just gave my heart a throb,
D
to the bottom of my feet
A
D
And I swore as I took another pull,
E
E7
my Bessie can't be beat
Chorus 4
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

Verse 5
A
Now there's a flood out in California
D
and up north it's freezing cold
A

And this living on the road
A
So I guess I'll call up my big mama,
D
tell her I'll be rolling in
A
But you know, deep down,
E
to go and see my Bessie again

Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
