Hey, C#I got a gal at the F#head of the C#creek,

Goin' up to see her about G#two times a C#week.

Kiss her on the mouth, F#sweet as any C#wine,

Wrap herself around me like a G#sweet potato C#vine.

C#Goin up Cripple Creek, F#goin on a C#run,

goin up Cripple Creek to G#have a little C#fun.

Goin up Cripple Creek, F#goin in a C#whirl,

goin up Cripple Creek to G#see my C#girl.

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
