 Hey, EI got a gal at the Ahead of the Ecreek,
 Goin' up to see her about Btwo times a Eweek.
 Kiss her on the mouth, Asweet as any Ewine,
 Wrap herself around me like a Bsweet potato Evine.
EGoin up Cripple Creek, Agoin on a Erun,
 goin up Cripple Creek to Bhave a little Efun.
 Goin up Cripple Creek, Agoin in a Ewhirl,
 goin up Cripple Creek to Bsee my Egirl.

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
