Well I married my wife in the month of june
                        D          G
Married her up by the light of the moon
  G                C      G
Wailing down on Cripple Creek
                        D     G
We've been down there about a week


Chorus

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


chord progression is the same throughout. played in key of G

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
