Intro
Chorus
Hey hey cripple creek ferry
Butting through the overhanging trees
Make way for the cripple creek ferry
The water's going down
It's a mighty tight sque eze
All alone the captain stands
Hasn't heard from his deck hands
The gambler tips his hat and walks
Towards the door
It's the second half of the cruise
And you know he hates to lose / /
Hey hey cripple creek ferry
Butting through the overhanging trees
Make way for the cripple creek ferry
The water's going down
It's a mighty tight squeeze (to fade)
