Well I married my wife in the month of june

Married her up by the light of the moon 
  G5                C5      G5 
Wailing down on Cripple Creek 
                        D5     G5 
We've been down there about a week

Goin' down to Cripple Creek, goin' on a run 
                                D5              G5 
Goin' down to Cripple Creek to have a little fun 
  G5                                           
Goin' down to Cripple Creek , goin' in a whirl 
                               D5      G5 
Goin' down to Cripple Creek to see my girl

Now Cripple Creek girls is about half grown 
 
Jumped on the man like a dog on a bone 
 
Roll my britches up until my knees 
 
Gonna cross 'ol Cripple Creek when I please 
 
chorus 
 
Hey, I got a girl at the head of the creek 
 
Goin up to see her about 2 times per week 
 
Kiss her in the mouth, sweet as any wine 
 
Wrap herself around me like a sweet potato vine 
 
chorus 
 
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 
 
chorus
