[A] _ When I get off of this mountain, _ [D] you know where I want to go. _
_ _ [A] _ Straight down [D] the Mississippi [E] River to the Gulf of Mexico, _
_ [A] to Lake Charles, Louisiana, _ to the Pitt [D] of Mexico, I want smooth. _
_ _ [A] And she told me [D] just to come on [E] by if there's anything that [Bm] she could do. _
_ _ [A] Up on Cripple Creek, she sends [D] me if I spring a leak.
She bends [E] me, I don't have to speak, as she [D] defends [F#m] me.
A drunkard's [Gm] dream, if I ever did [G] see one. _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ [A] Good luck had just strung me [D] to the racetrack I did go. _
_ _ _ [A] She bent [D] on one horse to [B] win, and [E] I bent on another to show.
_ _ [A] Her odds were in my favor, _ [D] I had them five to one.
_ [A] _ _ [D] That nag to win came around [E] the track, sure enough, we had one.
_ _ [D] _ [A] Up on Cripple Creek, she [D] sends me if I spring a leak.
She bends me, [E] I don't have to speak, as she [F#m] defends me.
A drunkard's dream, [G] if I ever did see one. _ _ _ _
_ _ [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 my [E] face, just for a laugh. _
_ [A] _ Now there's one thing in the whole wide [D] 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 bends [E] me, I don't have to speak, as she defends [F#m] me.
A drunkard's 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 bars.
_ _ [A] She said, I can't [F#m] take the way he sang, [E] but I loved to hear him talk. _
_ [Bm] _ [A] Now that just gave my heart a flop [D] to the bottom of my feet.
_ _ _ [A] And I swore [D] as I took another pour, [E] my Bessie can't be beat. _
[Bm] _ _ [A] Up on Cripple Creek, she sends [D] me if I spring a leak.
She bends [E] me, I don't have to speak, as she defends [F#m] me.
A drunkard's dream, [G] if I ever did see one.
_ _ [Gm] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ Don't [D] know who, _ _ [A] la-da-da-da-da-da-da [Bm]-who.
_ _ [A] _ Don't [D] know who, _ [A] la-da-da-da [D]-da-da-da-who.
[Em] Out [A] _ _ in California, _ [D] and up north it's freezing cold.
_ _ [A] _ And this [D] living off the road, [E] _ it's getting pretty old. _
So [A] I guess I call up my big mama, and [D] tell her I'm the lonely man. _
_ [A] But you know deep down, [D] I'm kind of tempted [E] to go and see my Bessie again.
_ [A] _ Up on Cripple Creek, she [G] sends [D] me if I spring a leak.

[B] _ _ [A] _ _ Don't [D] know who, _ [A] la-da-da-da [D]-da-da-da-who.
[A] _ Don't know [D] _
who, _ [A] la-da-da-da [Bm]-da-da-da-who.
_ _ [A] Don't know who, [D] la-da-da _ [A] _ _ _ [D]-da-da-da-who.
