Gonna cross 'ol Cripple Creek when I please

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
