    Way up on Bear Creek, watching the sun go down,
            A                                                             E
    way up on Bear Creek, watching the sun go down,

    it makes me feel like I'm on my last go-'round.

   The water on Bear Creek, it tastes like cherry wine,
            A                                                                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,

    I'm going high, high up on some lonesome hill,
            A                                                           E
