 Hey, GI got a gal at the Chead of the Gcreek,
 Goin' up to see her about Dtwo times a Gweek.
 Kiss her on the mouth, Csweet as any Gwine,
 Wrap herself around me like a Dsweet potato Gvine.
GGoin up Cripple Creek, Cgoin on a Grun,
 goin up Cripple Creek to Dhave a little Gfun.
 Goin up Cripple Creek, Cgoin in a Gwhirl,
 goin up Cripple Creek to Dsee my Ggirl.

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
