 Hey, AI got a gal at the Dhead of the Acreek,
 Goin' up to see her about Etwo times a Aweek.
 Kiss her on the mouth, Dsweet as any Awine,
 Wrap herself around me like a Esweet potato Avine.
AGoin up Cripple Creek, Dgoin on a Arun,
 goin up Cripple Creek to Ehave a little Afun.
 Goin up Cripple Creek, Dgoin in a Awhirl,
 goin up Cripple Creek to Esee my Agirl.

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,

wade ol Cripple Creek whenever I please.

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
