Cripple Creek

(words collected by Peter Budd)

From: Skillet Lickers. Vetco LP

Roll my breeches to my knees
Going up Cripple Creek when I please

Going up Cripple Creek, going in a run
Going up Cripple Creek, have a little fun

Going up Cripple Creek, going in a whirl
Going up Cripple Creek to see my girl

Going up Cripple Creek, rain and sand
Going up Cripple Creek, to see my man

Roll my breeches to my knees
Going up Cripple Creek when I please

Going up Cripple Creek, going in a run
Going up Cripple Creek, have a little fun




Cripple Creek

From Brad Leftwich. Round Peak Style Clawhammer Banjo.
Words from Tommy Jarrell. Key A

Roll my breeches to my knees
Wade old Cripple Creek where I please

Oh me, oh my
Gonna wade old Cripple Creek till I die

Going up Cripple Creek, going in a run
Going up Cripple Creek, to have a little fun

Going up Cripple Creek, going all right
Going up Cripple Creek, Saturday night

Going up Cripple Creek, going in a whirl
Going up Cripple Creek to see my girl

Gals up Cripple Creek, a-laying in the shade
Getting all the money that a poor boy’s made

Gals up Cripple Creek, about half grown
They jump on the boys like a dog on a bone
