Cripple Creek - Banjo Folk Song

Cripple Creek is a traditional American folk song. I sing and play it on the mountain banjo in the clawmmerbanjo style.

Cripple Creek lyrics
Clawhammer Banjo

I got a gal,
At the head of the creek,
I go on up and see her
bout the middle of the weak.

She`s got eyes
of baby blue
and how my love
for her is true

chorus:
Goin' up Cripple Creek,
Goin' on a run,
Goin' up Cripple Creek,
To have a little fun.

Goin' up Cripple Creek,
Goin' in a whirl,
Goin' up Cripple Creek,
To see my girl.

Now the girls up Cripple Creek,
'Bout half grown,
Jump on a boy,
Like a dog on a bone.

Roll my britches,
Up to my knees,
An' wade ol' Cripple Creek,
When I please.

chorus:
Goin' up Cripple Creek,
Goin' on a run,
Goin' up Cripple Creek,
To have a little fun.

Goin' up Cripple Creek,
Goin' in a whirl,
Goin' up Cripple Creek,
To see my girl.

I've got a gal and she loves me,
She`s as sweet as she can be.

Cripple Creek's wide,
An' Cripple Creek's deep,
Gonna wade ol' Cripple Creek,
before I sleep.

chorus:
Goin' up Cripple Creek,
Goin' on a run,
Goin' up Cripple Creek,
To have a little fun.

Goin' up Cripple Creek,
Goin' in a whirl,
Goin' up Cripple Creek,
To see my girl.
