    Way up on Bear Creek, watching the sun go down,
        A                                     E
    way up on Bear Creek, watching the sun go down,
        B7                                    E
    it makes me feel like I'm on my last go-'round.

   The water on Bear Creek, it tastes like cherry wine,
         A                                          E
    the water on Bear Creek, it tastes like cherry wine,
            B7                                                E
    you can take one drink of it, you're drinking it all the time.

    If you stay on Bear Creek, you'll get like Jesse James,
             A                                       E
    if you stay on Bear Creek, you'll get like Jesse James,

    you'll take two old pistols and hold up that Bear Creek train.

          E                          B7       E
    I'm going high, high up on some lonesome hill,
         A                                   E
    I'm going high, high up on some lonesome hill,
         B7                                            E
    look down on Bear Creek where my good gal used to live.
