1: well I married a wife in the month of june,
Married her up by the light of the moon.
We live down on cripple creek.
We've been there about a week.
Chorus: I'm a-goin' down to cripple creek, I'm goin' on a run.
Goin' down to cripple creek to have some fun.
Goin' down to cripple creek, I'm goin' on a run.
Goin' down to cripple creek to have some fun.
2: now cripple creek girl's about half-grown,
Jump on a man like a dog on a bone.
Roll my pants up to my knees,
Cross on cripple creek a-when I please.
Chorus: I'm a-goin' down to cripple creek, I'm goin' on a run,
Goin' down to cripple creek to have some fun.
Goin' down to cripple creek, I'm goin' on a run.
Goin' down to cripple creek to have some fun.
3: well I'm goin' to cripple creek, I'm goin' on a run.
I'm a-goin' to cripple creek to have some fun.
Chorus: I'm a-goin' to cripple creek, I'm goin' on a run,
Goin' to cripple creek to have some fun.
