Lyrics

Way up on
Bear Creek, watching the sun go down
Way up on
Bear Creek, watching the sun go down
Well, it makes me feel like
I'm on my last go 'round
Well, the water up on
Bear Creek, tastes like cherry wine
Yeah, the water up on
Bear Creek, tastes like cherry wine
One drink of that water, you stay drunk all the time
If you stay up on
Bear Creek, you'll get like
Jesse James
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 hill
I'm going high, high, up on some lonesome hill
Look down on
Bear Creek where my good gal used to live
Way up on
Bear Creek, watching the sun go down
Way up on
Bear Creek, watching the sun go down
Well, it makes me feel like
I'm on my last go 'round
