[F] [G] .
[G#m] When [A] I get off of this mountain, [D] you know where I wanna go.
[Am] Straight down the [D].
[E] Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico .
[G#] To [A] Lake Charles, Louisiana, little [D] Betsy girl I once knew.
[A] She told [D] me just to come on by [E] if there's anything she could 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 [Bm] me, a drunkard's dream [G] if I ever did see one.
.
[F] [C] [A] Good luck, catch a stungman, and [D] to the racetrack I did go.
I [A] [F] bet [D] on one [F] horse to win, [E] and she bet on another [Bm] to show.
[A] The odds were in my favor, that [D] I had them five to one.
[A] And that [D] nag to win came [E] around to track me, and little Betsy had won.

.
[F#] [A] I picked up all of my winnings, and [D] I gave my little Betsy half.
[F] She tore it [D] up and threw it in my face, [E] just for a laugh.
[A] Now there's one thing in the whole wide world [D] I sure do like to see.
[A] I swear that [D] little 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.
.
[D] [A] So no [D] .
love, [A] [D] .
[A] no [D] love.
[A] [D] .
[A] .
[D] And up north it's freezing cold.
[A] And it's [D] living off the road.
[E] It's getting pretty old.
So [A] I guess I'm .
[D] pulling in.
[F] But you know deep [D] down, I'm kind of tempted [E] to go see my Betsy again.
