Hey, I got a girl at the head of the creek

Goin up to see her about 2 times a week

Kiss her on the mouth, sweet as any wine

Wrap herself around me like a sweet potato vine



Goin up Cripple Creek, goin on a run

Goin up Cripple Creek to have a little fun

Goin up Cripple Creek, goin in a whirl

Goin up Cripple Creek to see my little girl



Now the girls up Cripple Creek about half-grown

Jump on a boy like a dog on a bone

Roll my britches up to my knees

Wade ol Cripple Creek whenever I please



Goin up Cripple Creek, goin on a run

Goin up Cripple Creek to have a little fun

Goin up Cripple Creek, goin in a whirl

Goin up Cripple Creek to see my little girl



Now, Cripple Creek's wide and Cripple Creek's deep

Wade old Cripple Creek before I sleep

Hills are steep and the roads are muddy

and I'm so dizzy that I can't stand steady I'm



Goin up Cripple Creek, goin on a run

Goin up Cripple Creek to have a little fun

Goin up Cripple Creek, goin in a whirl

Goin up Cripple Creek to see my little girl.
