When (A)I get off of this moun tain,

ya (D)know where I wan na go?

Straight down the Mis sis sip pi Riv er to the (E)Gulf of Mex i co

to (A)Lake Charles, Lou’ si an a;

lit tle Bes sie, girl I once knew.

And she told me just to (D)come on by if there’s (E)an y thing that she could do.

(A)Up on Crip ple Creek,

she sends me.

(D)If I spring a leak,

she mends me.

(E)I don’t have to speak ’cause she de fends me.

A (F#m)drunk ard’s dream if I (G)ev er did see one.

(A)I get off of this moun tain,

Straight down the Mis sis sip pi Riv er to the (E)Gulf of Mex i co

And she told me just to (D)come on by if there’s (E)an y thing that she could do.

(A)Up on Crip ple Creek,

(D)If I spring a leak,

(E)I don’t have to speak ’cause she de fends me.

A (F#m)drunk ard’s dream if I (G)ev er did see one.

No, no, hoo.

(A)Lo dy, lo dy, lo dy, hoo.

No, no, hoo.

(A)Lo dy, lo dy, lo dy, hoo.
