I got a girl and she loves me
She’s as sweet as she can be
She’s got eyes of baby blue
Makes my gun shoot straight and true

*going up cripple creek going on a run
Going up cripple creek to have some fun
Going up cripple creek going in a whirl
Going up cripple creek to see my girl

I got a girl at the head of the creek
I’m gonna see her bout the middle of the week
Kiss her on the mouth sweet as any wine
Wrap herself around me like a sweet potato vine

*chorus

Well i married that girl in the month of june
I married that girl by the light of the moon
I got drunk and i fell against the wall
Old corn liquor was the cause of it all

*chorus

Cripple creeks wide and cripple creeks deep
I’ll wade old cripple creek before i sleep
Roll my britches up to my knees
I’ll wade old cripple creek when i please

*chorus
