Song : D


G C G
Well I married my wife in the month of June
D G
Married her up by the light of the moon
C G
Wailing down on Cripple Creek
D G
We’ve been down there about a week

Chorus :
G
Going up Cripple Creek, Goin on the run
D G
Going up Cripple Creek to have a little fun
Going up Cripple Creek, Goin’ in a whirl
D G
Going up Cripple Creek to see my girl

G C G
Now Cripple Creek girls is about half grown
D G
Jump on a man like a dog on a bone
C G
Roll my britches up to my knees
D G
Gonna wade ole Cripple Creek whenever I please

Chorus

G C G
Hey I got a girl at the head of the creek
D G
Goin up to see her about 2 times a week
C G
Kiss her on the mouth, just as sweet as any wine
D G
Wrap herself around me like a sweet ‘tato vine

Chorus

G C G
Now Cripple Creek’s wide and Cripple Creek’s deep
D G
Wade old Cripple Creek before I sleep
C G
Hills are steep and the roads are muddy
D G
And I’m so drunk I can’t stand steady

Chorus

G C G
I’ve got a gal who calls me dear
D G
I’ll marry her in the spring of the year
C G
She’s got eyes of baby blue
D G
Makes my gun shoot straight and true
