Hey [C] I got a gal at the [F] head of the [C] creek
Go up to see her 'bout the [G7] middle of the [C] week
Kiss her on the mouth, just as [F] sweet as any [C] wine
Wraps herself around me like a [G7] sweet pertater [C] vine
[C] Goin' up Cripple Creek, goin' on a run
Goin' up Cripple Creek, to [G7] have a little [C] fun
[C] Goin' up Cripple Creek, goin' in a whirl
Goin' up Cripple Creek to [G7] see my [C] girl
Now the [C] girls on the Cripple Creek [F] 'bout half [C] grown
Jump on a boy like a [G7] dog on a [C] bone
Roll my britches up [F] to my [C] knees
I'll wade old Cripple Creek [G7] whenever I [C] please
[C] Goin' up Cripple Creek, goin' on a run
Goin' up Cripple Creek, to [G7] have a little [C] fun
[C] Goin' up Cripple Creek, goin' in a whirl
