Now Cripple Creek girls is about half grown 
 
Jumped on the man like a dog on a bone 
 
Roll my britches up until my knees 
 
Gonna cross 'ol Cripple Creek when I please 
 
chorus 
 
 
Hey, I got a girl at the head of the creek 
 
Goin up to see her about 2 times per week 
 
Kiss her in the mouth, sweet as any wine 
 
Wrap herself around me like a sweet potato vine

Now, Cripple Creek's wide and Cripple Creek's deep 
 
Wade old Cripple Creek before I sleep 
 
Hills are steep and the roads are muddy 
 
And I'm so dizzy that I can't stand steady
