Cripple Creek
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I got a girl and she loves me
She's as sweet as sweet can be
She's got eyes of baby blue
Makes my gun shoot straight and true
Refrain:
Going up Cripple Creek going in a run
Going up Cripple Creek to have some fun
Cripple Creek's wide and Cripple Creek's deep
I'll wade ole Cripple Creek before I sleep
Roll my breeches to my knees
I'll wade ole Cripple Creek when I please
Refrain
I went down to Cripple Creek
To see what them girls had to eat
I got drunk and fell against the wall
Old corn liquor was the cause of it all
Refrain
