Verse 1
(C major) (G major) (A minor) (C major) (G major) (C major) (A minor) When I (C major) get off of (A minor) this mountain,
(C major) you (F major) know where I want to go?
(C major) Straight down the Mis (F major) sissippi river,
to the Gulf (G major) of Mexico
To (C major) Lake Charles, Louisi (G major) ana,
(C major) little (F major) Bessie, girl that I once knew
She told (C minor) me (C major) just to come (F major) on by,
if there's (G major) anything she could do
Verse 2
Up (C major) on Cripple Creek she sends me
(F major) If I spring a leak she mends me
I (G major) don't have to speak, she defends me
A (A minor) drunkard's dream if I (B flat major) ever did see one

Verse 3
(C major) Good luck had just stung me,
to the race (F major) track I did go
(C major) She bet on one (F major) horse to win and
(G major) I bet on another to show
The (C major) odds were in my (G major) favor,
(C major) I (F major) had 'em five to one
When that nag (C minor) to win came around (F major) the track,
sure (G major) enough she had won
Verse 4
Up (C major) on Cripple Creek she sends me
(F major) If I spring a leak she mends me
I (G major) don't have to speak,
she defends me
A drunkard's (A minor) dream if I (B flat major) ever did see one
(C major)
Verse 5
(F major)
I (C major) took up all of (F major) my winnings,
and I gave my little (C major) (F major) (C major) (F major) (F sharpdim) Bessie (C major) half
And she tore it up and (F major) threw it in my face,
just for a laugh
(C major) Now there's one thing in (F major) the whole (G major) wide world,
I sure would like to (C major) see
That's (G major) (C major) (F major) when that little love (C major) of (F major) mine,
dips her (G major) doughnut in my tea
Verse 6
(C major) Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
(F major) If I spring a leak she mends me
I (G major) don't have to speak,
she defends me
A drunkard's (A minor) dream if I (B flat major) ever
Verse 7
did see one
(B flat major)
Now me and my (C major) mate were back at the shack,
we (F major) had Spike Jones on the box
(C major) She said, "I can't take the way he sing (F major) s,
but I love (C major) to hear him (F major) talk"
Now (C major) that just gave my heart a
throb, to (F major) the bottom of my feet
And I swore and (C major) I took another pull,
my Bessie can't be beat
Verse 8
Now there's a flood out in Californi (F major)
a and up north it's freezing cold
And this living on the (G major) road
is getting pretty old
So I guess I'll call up my big
mama, tell (A minor) her I'll be rolling in
But (B flat major) you know, deep down,
I'm kind of tempted
To go and (C major) see my Bessie again.
Verse 9
Up on Cripple Creek (C major) she sends me
(F major) If I spring a leak she mends me
I (G major) don't have to speak, she defends me
A (A minor) drunkard's dream if I (B flat major) ever did see one
