[G][F]

[Verse 1]
[G]When I get off of this mountain,
you [C]know where I'm gonna go
[G]Straight down [C]the Mississippi River
to the [D]Gulf of Mexico
[F]Down to Lak[G]e Charles, Louisiana,
little [C]fancy girl I once knew
[F]She [G]told me just to com[C]e on by
if there's [D]anything she could [F]do
[G]Up on Cripple Creek, she sends me
[C]If I sprang a leak, she missed me
[D]I don't have to speak,
she defends me
Tucker[Em]'s dream,
if I [F]ever [Fm]did see one
[F]Well, [G]me and my mate were
back at the shack
We had [C]Spike Jones on the bar
[G]She said, can't [C]take the way he sings
But I [D]love to hear him talk
Well, [G]that just changed my heart
to drop to the [C]bottom of my feet
[G]An d I swore as [C]I took another form,
I [D]bet she can't be beat
[G]Up on Cribble Creek,
she sends me [C]if I spring a leak
She lends me, [D]I don't have to speak,
she defends me
Trucker[Em]'s dream if I e[F]ver di[Fm]d
see [F]one [Fm]Ž[F][Fm][F]

[G]Up on Cripple Creek, she sends me
[C]If I swing a leak, she mends me
[D]I don't have to speak,
she defends me
[Esus4]Drunk as [D]a ree[Em]d,
