I got a gal at the head of the creek

Goin up t' see her 'bout the middle of the week

Kiss her on the mouth, just as sweet as any wine

Wraps herself around me like a sweet potatoe vine



Goin' up t' Cripple Creek, goin' on the run

Goin' up t' Cripple Creek t' have a little fun

Goin' up t' Cripple Creek, goin in a whirl

Goin' up t' Cripple Creek t' see my girl



Girls up on Cripple Creek about half grown

Jump on a man like a dog on a bone

I'll roll my britches up to my knees

An' wade in ol' Cripple Creek when I please



Goin' up t' Cripple Creek, goin' on the run

Goin' up t' Cripple Creek t' have a little fun

Goin' up t' Cripple Creek, goin in a whirl

Goin' up t' Cripple Creek t' see my girl
