1: Well I married a wife in the month of June
Married her up by the light of the moon
We live down on Cripple Creek
We've been there about a week

CHORUS: I'm a-goin' down to Cripple Creek, I'm goin' on a run
Goin' down to Cripple Creek to have some fun
Goin' down to Cripple Creek, I'm goin' on a run
Goin' down to Cripple Creek to have some fun
2: Now Cripple Creek girl's about half-grown
Jump on a man like a dog on a bone
Roll my pants up to my knees
Cross on Cripple Creek a-when I please

CHORUS: I'm a-goin' down to Cripple Creek, I'm goin' on a run
Goin' down to Cripple Creek to have some fun
Goin' down to Cripple Creek, I'm goin' on a run
Goin' down to Cripple Creek to have some fun
3: Well I'm goin' to Cripple Creek, I'm goin' on a run
I'm a-goin' to Cripple Creek to have some fun

CHORUS: I'm a-goin' to Cripple Creek, I'm goin' on a run
Goin' to Cripple Creek to have some fun
