Hey, EbI got a gal at the G#head of the Ebcreek,

Goin' up to see her about Bbtwo times a Ebweek.

Kiss her on the mouth, G#sweet as any Ebwine,

Wrap herself around me like a Bbsweet potato Ebvine.

EbGoin up Cripple Creek, G#goin on a Ebrun,

goin up Cripple Creek to Bbhave a little Ebfun.

Goin up Cripple Creek, G#goin in a Ebwhirl,

goin up Cripple Creek to Bbsee my Ebgirl.

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
