Chorus: Going up Cripple Creek,
Going on a run.
Going up Cripple Creek
To have some fun.

The girls up Cripple Creek,
About half grown,
They jump on a man
Like a dog on a bone.

(Chorus)

Easiest money
That ever I made
I made up Cripple Creek,
Laying in the shade.

(Chorus)

Run, run, fun, fun.
Going up Cripple Creek
To have some fun.

(Comment by Mrs. Fendley: "I can't remember all the verses to that. There's about ten or twelve.")
