Way up on Bear Creek, Watching the sun go down.

Way up on Bear Creek, Watching the sun go down.

The water up on Bear Creek, Tastes like cherry wine.
    G                                          D
The water up on Bear Creek, Tastes like cherry wine.

If you stay up on Bear Creek, You'll get like Jesse James.

You'll take two pistols, And you'll rob that Bear Creek train.

I'm going high, high, Up on some lonesome ridge.

Look down on Bear Creek, Where my good gal used to live.
