Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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, just sweet as any wine
Wrap herself around me like a sweet potato vine
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
I'm gonna wade old Cripple Creek whenever I please
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Now, Cripple Creek’s wide and Cripple Creek’s deep
Gonna wade old Cripple Creek whenever I sleep
Hills are steep and the roads are muddy
And I’m so drunk that I can’t stand steady
[Verse 6]
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
