_ _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ _
But I get off of this mountain, [D] you know where I want to go. _ _
_ [A] _ [D] Straight down to Mississippi, [E] there's a beautiful girl from Mexico, _ _ _ [A] with a late Charles Moussey
and a little [D] Pesce girl, I once knew. _
_ [A] She told me [D] just to come on [E] by, if there's anything that she could do.
[D] _
_ [A] [E] Up on [A] Cripple Creek, she sends [D] me if I spring a leak, she mends [E] me.
I don't have to speak, she [F#m] defends me.
A drunkard's [Gm] dream, if I ever [G] did see one. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] Good luck had just strung me [D] to the racetrack I did go. _ _
_ [A] _ She bet [D] on one horse to [E] win, and I bet on another to show. _
_ [A] _ Cards were in my favor, _ [D] I had them five to warn.
_ [A] _ And that [D] nag-a-wing came around [E] the track, sure enough she had won. _
_ [A] _ Up on Cripple Creek, she [D] sends me if I spring a leak, she mends me.
[E] I don't have to speak, she [F#m] defends me.
A drunkard's dream, [G] if I ever did see one. _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ [A] I took up all of my winning, _ [D] and I gave my little Pesce half. _
_ [A] _ She [D] tore it up and threw it in [E] my face, just for [Em] 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 [C#] in my [Em] teeth. _ _
_ [A] Up on Cripple Creek, she sends [D] me if I spring a leak, she mends [E] me.
I don't have to speak, she [F#m] defends me.
A drunkard's [F#] dream, [G] if I ever did see one.
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ [A] Me and my mate were back at the shack, [D] we had Spike Jones on the boss. _
_ [A] He said I can't [F#m] take the way he sings, [E] but I love to hear him talk.
Now [Bm] _ [A] that just gave my heart a throb [D] to the bottom of my feet. _
_ _ [A] And I swore [D] as I took another pour, [E] my Pesce can't be beat. _ _
[D] _ [A] Up on Cripple Creek, she sends [D] me if I spring a leak, she mends [E] me.
I don't have to speak, she defends [F#m] me.
A drunkard's dream, [G] if I ever did see one. _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ No, [D] no, _ _
_ [A] la, [D] la, la, la, la, _
_ [A] no, _ [D] no, _ _
_ [A] la, la, la, [D] la, la, la.
[G] [A] There's a flood out in California, _ [D] and up north, it's freezing cold. _ _
_ [A] _ And this [D] living off the road, _ [E] it's gettin' pretty old. _
So [A] I guess I'll call up my big mama, _ [D] tell her I'm the only man. _ _
[A] But you know deep down [D] I'm kind of tempted [E] to go and see my bestie again.
[A] _
_ Up on Cripple Creek, she [G] sends [D] me a box of cranberries.
She makes [E] me, I don't have to scream.
She defends [F#m] me in drunkards dreams [G] if I ever did see one.
