Hey, CI got a gal at the Fhead of the Ccreek,

Goin' up to see her about Gtwo times a Cweek.

Kiss her on the mouth, Fsweet as any Cwine,

Wrap herself around me like a Gsweet potato Cvine.

CGoin up Cripple Creek, Fgoin on a Crun,

goin up Cripple Creek to Ghave a little Cfun.

Goin up Cripple Creek, Fgoin in a Cwhirl,

goin up Cripple Creek to Gsee my Cgirl.

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.

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
