Cripple Creek (Listen to sample)

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

A D

goin’ up to see her about two times a week.

Kiss her on the mouth, sweet as any wine,

A D

wrap herself around me like a sweet potato vine.

D

Goin up Cripple Creek, goin on a run,

A D

goin up Cripple Creek to have a little fun.

Goin up Cripple Creek, goin in a whirl,

A D

goin up Cripple Creek to see my little girl.

D

2. Now the girls up Cripple Creek, about half-grown,

A D

jump on a boy like a dog on a bone.

Roll my britches up to my knees,

A D

wade ol Cripple Creek whenever I please. + CHORUS

D

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

A D

wade old Cripple Creek before I sleep.

Hills are steep and the roads are muddy,

A D

and I'm so dizzy that I can't stand steady, I'm… + CHORUS
