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 Ole corn likker was the cause of it all
