Goin' up to Cripple Creek,  goin' on a run

Goin' up to Cripple Creek and have a little fun

Goin' up to Cripple Creek and have a little whirl

Goin' up to Cripple Creek and see my girl

                ***

Girls up at Cripple Creek sure have grown

Jump on a boy like a dog on a bone

Kiss you on the mouth just as sweet as any wine

Wrap themselves around you like a sweet potato vine

               ****

And I won't come back 'til the roads turn muddy

And I'm so drunk that I can't stand steady

/ /Goin' up to Cripple Creek,  goin' on a run......
        
                ****

Appalachian folk tune  - popularized by Buffy St. Marie
