Up On Cripple Creek
The Band
Key : A
Capo
[Verse 1]
---------------------
     A5                              D5
When I get off of this mountain, you know where I want to go?
A5                     D5                     E5
  Straight down the Mississippi river, to the Gulf of Mexico,
   A5                                 D5
To Lake Charles, Louisiana, little Bessie girl I once knew.
A5                        D5                     E5
  And she told me just to come on by, if there's anything that she could do.

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
A5
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me.
D5
If I spring a leak, she mends me.
E5
I don't have to speak, she defends me.
  F#m                   G5
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one.

[Verse 2]
---------------------
A5                                  D5
Good luck had just stung me, to the race track I did go.
A5              D5                   E5
  She bet on one  horse to win and I bet on another to show.
    A5                       D5
The odds were in my favor, I had 'em five to one.
A5                   D5                       E5
  And that nag to win  came around the track, sure enough we had won.

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
A
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me.
D5
If I spring a leak, she mends me.
E5
I don't have to speak, she defends me.
  F#m                   G5
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one.

[Verse 3]
---------------------
  A5                                    D5
I took up all of my winnings, and I gave  my little Bessie half.
A5                   D5                   E5
  She tore it up and threw it in my face, just for a laugh.
     A5                                         D5
Now, there's one thing in the whole wide world, I sure would like to see,.
A5                            D5                 E5
  That's when that little love  of mine dips her doughnut in my tea.



[Verse 4]
---------------------
    A5                                            D5
Now me and my mate were back at the shack, we had Spike Jones on the box.
A5                            D5                  E5
  She said, "I can't take the way he sings, but I love to hear him talk".
    A5                                      D5
Now that just gave my heart a throb, to the bottom of my feet.
A5                     D5                 E5
  And I swore as I took  another pull, my Bessie can’t be beat.



[Bridge]
---------------------
A5       D5   A                        D5 A         D5 A                    D5
  Oh no, ooh. Yodel, yodel, yo hee hee.   Yodel hee.   Yodel, yodel, yo hee hee.

[Verse 5]
---------------------
          A5                                  D5
There's a flood out in California and up north  it's freezing cold.
A5                   D5            E5
  And this living off  the road is getting pretty old.
          A5                                       D5
So I guess  I'll call up my big mama, tell her I'll  be rolling in.
        A5                   D5
But you know, deep down, I'm kind of tempted
   E5
To go and see my Bessie again.



[Outro]
---------------------
A           D5 A                         A5    D5                             A     
 Oh no, ooh.   Yodel, yodel, yo hee hee. Yodel hee. Yodel, yodel, yo hee hee. Oh no,
     D5 A
 ooh.   Yodel, yodel, yo hee hee.
