	  		Song:Cripple Creek 
Traditional Bluegrass (mixed lyrics) 

G                   C            G 
I got a gal at the head of the creek 
G                            D            G 
goin up to see her bout the middle of the week 
G                              C       G 
kiss her on the mouth just as sweet as wine 
G                               D          D 
wraps herself around me like a sweet potato vine 


   G                       C          G 
   Goin' up Cripple Creek goin' in a run 
   G                          D         G 
   Goin' up Cripple Creek to have some fun. 
   G                       C         G 
   Goin' up cripple creek goin in a whirl 
   G                        D       G 
   Goin' up Cripple Creek , see my girl 


G                 C        G 
I got a girl and she loves me 
G                  D        G 
She's as sweet as sweet can be 
G                  C    G 
She's got eyes of baby blue 
G                    D         G 
Makes my gun shoot straight and true. 

CHORUS: X1 

G                          C            G 
Cripple Creek's wide and Cripple Creek's deep 
G                           D         G 
I'll wade old Cripple Creek before I sleep 
G                C      G 
Roll my breeches to my knees 
G                           D       G 
I'll wade ol' Cripple Creek when I please 

CHORUS: X1 

G               C      G 
I went down to Cripple Creek 
G                       D      G 
To see what them girls had to eat 
G                       C       G 
I got drunk and fell against the wall 
G                       D          G 
Old corn likker was the cause of it all 

CHORUS:X1 

G                       C        G 
girls up cripple creek bout half grown 
G                     D       G 
jump on a man like a dog on a bone 
G                C      G 
Roll my breeches to my knees 
G                           D       G 
I'll wade ol' Cripple Creek when I please
