Hey, I got a girl at the head of the creek   And I'm goin' up to see her 'bout two times a week   Kiss her on the mouth, sweet as any wine   Wrap herself around me like a sweet potato vine      I'm goin' up Cripple Creek, goin' on a run   Goin' up Cripple Creek to have a little fun   Goin' up Cripple Creek, goin' in a whirl   Goin' up Cripple Creek to see my little girl      Now the girl's up at 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      I'm goin' up Cripple Creek, goin' on a run   Goin' up Cripple Creek to have a little fun   Goin' up Cripple Creek, goin' in a whirl   Goin' up Cripple Creek to see my little girl      Now, Cripple Creek's wide and the Cripple Creek's deep   Wade old Cripple Creek 'fore I sleep   Hills are steep and the roads are muddy   And I'm so dizzy that I can't stand steady      I'm goin' up Cripple Creek, goin' on a run   Goin' up Cripple Creek to have a little fun   Goin' up Cripple Creek, goin' in a whirl   Goin' up Cripple Creek to see my girl
