    • Verse 1
    When 
    I 
    get 
    off 
    of 
    this 
    mountain, 

    you 
    know 
    where 
    I 
    want 
    to 
    go? 

    Straight 
    down 
    the 
    Mis
    sissippi 
    river, 

    to 
    the Gulf 
    of Mexico 

    To 
    Lake 
    Charles, 
    Louisi
    ana, 

    little 
    Bessie, 
    girl 
    that 
    I 
    once 
    knew 

    She told 
    me 
    just 
    to come 
    on 
    by, 

    if 
    there's 
    anything 
    she 
    could 
    do 

    Verse 2
    Up 
    on 
    Cripple 
    Creek 
    she 
    sends 
    me 

    If 
    I 
    spring 
    a 
    leak 
    she 
    mends 
    me 

    I 
    don't 
    have 
    to speak, 
    she 
    defends 
    me 

    A 
    drunkard's 
    dream 
    if 
    I 
    ever 
    did 
    see 
    one 

    Verse 3

    Good 
    luck 
    had 
    just 
    stung 
    me, 

    to the race 
    track 
    I 
    did 
    go 

    She 
    bet 
    on 
    one 
    horse 
    to 
    win 
    and 

    I 
    bet 
    on 
    another 
    to show 

    The 
    odds 
    were 
    in 
    my 
    favor, 

    I 
    had 
    'em 
    five 
    to 
    one 

    When 
    that 
    nag 
    to 
    win 
    came 
    around 
    the 
    track, 

    sure 
    enough 
    she 
    had 
    won 

    Verse 4
    Up 
    on 
    Cripple 
    Creek 
    she 
    sends 
    me 

    If 
    I 
    spring 
    a 
    leak 
    she 
    mends 
    me 

    I 
    don't 
    have 
    to speak, 

    she 
    defends 
    me 

    A drunkard's 
    dream 
    if 
    I 
    ever 
    did 
    see 
    one 

    Verse 5

    I 
    took 
    up all 
    of 
    my 
    winnings, 

    and I gave 
    my little 
    Bessie 
    half 

    And 
    she tore 
    it 
    up 
    and 
    threw 
    it in my 
    face, 

    just 
    for 
    a 
    laugh 

    Now 
    there's 
    one 
    thing in 
    the whole 
    wide 
    world, 

    I sure 
    would 
    like 
    to 
    see 

    That's 
    when 
    that 
    little 
    love 
    of 
    mine, 

    dips 
    her 
    doughnut 
    in my 
    tea 

    Verse 6
    Up 
    on 
    Cripple 
    Creek 
    she 
    sends 
    me 

    If 
    I 
    spring 
    a 
    leak 
    she 
    mends 
    me 

    I 
    don't 
    have 
    to speak, 

    she 
    defends 
    me 

    A drunkard's 
    dream 
    if 
    I 
    ever 

    Verse 7
    did 
    see 
    one 


    Now me and 
    my 
    mate 
    were back 
    at the 
    shack, 

    we 
    had Spike 
    Jones 
    on the box 

    She 
    said, 
    "I can't 
    take 
    the 
    way 
    he sing
    s, 

    but 
    I love 
    to 
    hear 
    him 
    talk" 

    Now 
    that 
    just 
    gave my 
    heart 
    a 

    throb, to 
    the 
    bottom of 
    my feet 

    And 
    I 
    swore and 
    I took 
    another pull, 

    my 
    Bessie can't 
    be beat 

    Verse 8
    Now there's 
    a 
    flood 
    out in 
    Californi

    a and 
    up north 
    it's 
    freezing 
    cold 

    And 
    this living 
    on 
    the 
    road 

    is 
    getting 
    pretty old 

    So 
    I guess 
    I'll call 
    up 
    my 
    big 

    mama, tell 
    her 
    I'll be 
    rolling 
    in 

    But 
    you 
    know, 
    deep 
    down, 

    I'm kind 
    of 
    tempted 

    To 
    go 
    and 
    see my 
    Bessie again. 

    Verse 9
    Up on 
    Cripple 
    Creek 
    she 
    sends 
    me 

    If 
    I 
    spring 
    a 
    leak 
    she 
    mends 
    me 

    I 
    don't 
    have 
    to speak, 
    she 
    defends 
    me 

    A 
    drunkard's 
    dream 
    if 
    I 
    ever 
    did 
    see 
    one

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
