I got a girl and she loves me

She's as sweet as sweet can be

She's got eyes of baby blue

Makes my gun shoot straight and true

Refrain:

Going up Cripple Creek going in a run

Going up Cripple Creek to have some fun

Cripple Creek's wide and Cripple Creek's deep

I'll wade ole Cripple Creek before I sleep

Roll my breeches to my knees

I'll wade ole Cripple Creek when I please

Refrain

I went down to Cripple Creek

To see what them girls had to eat

I got drunk and fell against the wall

Old corn liquor was the cause of it all

Refrain
