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)

notes:

to get the rhythm, change gradually between Am and C

you'll get it easily from the recording!
