where I want to go?[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch]\r\nStraight down the Mississippi river, to the Gulf of Mexico[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nTo Lake Charles, Louisiana, little Bessie, girl that I once knew[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch]\r\nShe told me just to come on by, if there's anything she could do[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]\r\nUp on Cripple Creek she sends me[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nIf I spring a leak she mends me[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]E[/ch]\r\nI don't have to speak, she defends

five to one[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch]\r\nWhen that nag to win came around the track, sure enough we had won[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]\r\nUp on Cripple Creek she

up and threw it in my face, just for a laugh[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nNow there's one thing in the whole wide world, I sure do like to see[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch]\r\nThat's how that little sweet thing of mine, dips her doughnut in my tea[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]\r\nUp on Cripple Creek she sends me[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nIf I spring a leak

love to hear him talk\"[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nNow that just gave my heart a throb, to the bottom of my feet[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch]\r\nAnd I swore as I took another pull, my Bessie can't be beat [/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]\r\nUp on Cripple Creek she sends me[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nIf I spring a leak she mends
