I got a gal at the head of the cr eek
goin up to see her bout the middle of the week
kiss her on the mouth just as sweet as wine
wraps herself around me like a sweet potato vine
Chorus
Goin' up Cripple Creek goin' in a r un
Goin' up Cripple Creek to have some f un.
Goin' up cripple creek goin in a w hirl
Goin' up Cripple Creek , see my g irl
I got a girl and she loves me
She's as sweet as sweet can be
She's got eyes of baby b lue
Makes my gun shoot straight and true.
Chorus

Roll my breeches to my k nees
I'll wade ol' Cripple Creek when I p lease

To see what them girls had to e at

Old corn likker was the cause of it all

Roll my breeches to my k nees
