Cripple Creek - Banjo - Folk song

Cripple Creek is a traditional folk song. I sing and play it on the mountain banjo only this time I play it, two finger thumb lead.

Cripple Creek lyrics
(Kentucky, traditional)
Banjo tuned like standard G only down to low octave A sharp

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.

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

I`ll roll my britches,
Up to my knees,
And 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,
I`ll 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.
