Up On Cripple Creek chords
The Band

A 4x

   A                D
When I get off of this mountain, you know where I want to go?
A         D             E
Straight down the Mississippi river, to the Gulf of Mexico
  A                D
To Lake Charles, Louisiana, little Bessie, girl that I once knew
A          D           E
She told me just to come on by, if there's anything she could do

A
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
D
If I spring a leak she mends me
E
I don't have to speak, she defends me
 F#m          G
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one

A                  D
Good luck had just stung me, to the race track I did go
A     D           E
She bet on one horse to win and I bet on another to show
  A            D
The odds were in my favor, I had 'em five to one
A        D             E
When that nag to win came around the track, sure enough we had won

A
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
D
If I spring a leak she mends me
E
I don't have to speak, she defends me
 F#m          G
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one

A                  D
I took up all of my winnings, and I gave my little Bessie half
A           D          E
And she tore it up and threw it in my face, just for a laugh
A                       D
Now there's one thing in the whole wide world, I sure do like to see
A           D               E
That's how that little sweet thing of mine, dips her doughnut in my tea

A
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
D
If I spring a leak she mends me
E
I don't have to speak, she defends me
 F#m          G
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one

A                         D
Now me and my mate were back at the shack, we had Spike Jones on the box
A              D          E
She said, "I can't take the way he sings, but I love to hear him talk"
A                      D
Now that just gave my heart a throb, to the bottom of my feet
A        D           E
And I swore as I took another pull, my Bessie can't be beat

A
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
D
If I spring a leak she mends me
E
I don't have to speak, she defends me
 F#m          G
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one

       A               D
Now there's a flood out in California and up north it's freezing cold
A        D        E
And this living off the road is getting pretty old
   A                D
So I guess I'll call up my big mama, tell her I'll be rolling in
    A          D
But you know, deep down, I'm kind of tempted
  E
To go and see my Bessie again.

A
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
D
If I spring a leak she mends me
E
I don't have to speak, she defends me
 F#m          G
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
