Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  got a gal at the head  of the creek
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
  Goin'  up Cripple Creek goin'  in a run
  Goin'  up Cripple Creek to have  some fun.
  Goin'  up cripple creek goin  in a whirl
  Goin'  up Cripple Creek , see  my girl
I  got a girl and she  loves me
She's  as sweet as sweet  can be
She's  got eyes of baby  blue
Makes  my gun shoot straight  and  true.
 X1
Cripple  Creek's wide and Cripple  Creek's  deep
I'll  wade old Cripple Creek before  I sleep
Roll  my breeches to  my knees
I'll  wade ol' Cripple Creek when  I please
 X1
I  went down to Cripple Creek
To  see what them girls had  to eat
I  got drunk and fell against  the  wall
Old  corn likker was the cause  of it  all
 X1
girls  up cripple creek bout  half grown
jump  on a man like a dog  on a bone
Roll  my breeches to  my knees
I'll  wade ol' Cripple Creek when  I please
 X2
