[C]
[A] Over this mountain, [D] you know where I wanna go
Straight down the Mississippi [E] River to the Gulf of Mexico
[F#]
[A] To Lake Charles, Louisiana
Little [D] Bessie girl I once knew
[A] She told me [D] just to come on by [E] if there's anything she could [Bm] do
[A] Up on Cripple Creek, she sends [D] me if I sprang a leak
She mends [E] me, I don't have to speak
She defends [F#m] me, a drunkard's dream if [G] I ever did see one
[A] Good luck had you stung me, and to [D] the racetrack I did go
I [A] bet on one horse to win, [E] and she bet on another to show
The [A] odds were in my favor, [D] I had to won
And [A] that nag to [D] win came around [E] to track me, and Little Bessie had [E] won
[A] Up on Cripple Creek, she sends [D] me if I sprang a leak
She mends [E] me, I don't have to speak
She defends me, [F#] a drunkard's [F#] dream if [G] I ever did see one
I [E]
[Am] picked up all of [A] my winnings, and [D] I gave my little Bessie hands
[F] She tore it up and threw it in my [E] face, just for a [E] laugh
Now [A] there's one thing in the whole world [D] I sure do like to see
[A] That's when that little [D] love of [E] mine dips a donut in my tea
Going [A] up on Cripple Creek, she [D]
sends me if I sprang 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
[E] [A] Oh no [D] no,
[A] [D]
[A] [D]
[A] [D]
[D] and up north it's freezing cold
[A] And if [D] living off the road [E] is getting pretty old
I [A] guess I'll call up my big mama,
[D] and call her in
But [E] you know deep down, I'm kind of tempted [E] to go see my Bessie again
Going [A] up on Cripple Creek, she sends [D] me if I sprang a leak
She mends [E] me, I don't have to speak
She defends me, [F#m] a drunkard's dream [G] if I ever did see one
Oh no [D]
