1: Well I married a wife in the month of June,

Married her up by the light of the moon.

We live down on Cripple Creek.

We've been there about a week.

CHORUS: I'm a-goin' down to Cripple Creek, I'm goin' on a run.

Goin' down to Cripple Creek to have some fun.

Goin' down to Cripple Creek, I'm goin' on a run.

Goin' down to Cripple Creek to have some fun.

2: Now Cripple Creek girl's about half-grown,

Jump on a man like a dog on a bone.

Roll my pants up to my knees,

Cross on Cripple Creek a-when I please.

CHORUS: I'm a-goin' down to Cripple Creek, I'm goin' on a run,

Goin' down to Cripple Creek to have some fun.

Goin' down to Cripple Creek, I'm goin' on a run.

Goin' down to Cripple Creek to have some fun.

3: Well I'm goin' to Cripple Creek, I'm goin' on a run.

I'm a-goin' to Cripple Creek to have some fun.

CHORUS: I'm a-goin' to Cripple Creek, I'm goin' on a run,

Goin' to Cripple Creek to have some fun.
