“Cripple Creek (live)”
Lyrics Permalink
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 down there about a week
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
Now Cripple Creek girls are about half grown
They jump on a man like a dog on a bone
Roll my pants up to my knees
Cross on-a Cripple Creek a-when I please
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
Yeah, I’m a-goin’ up to Cripple Creek, I’m goin’ on a run
I’m a-goin’ up to Cripple Creek, I’m going to have fun
Goin’ up to Cripple Creek, goin’ on a run
Goin’ up to Cripple Creek to have some fun
Peter: Thank you very much. You’re such a lovely audience, we’d love to take you home with us, we’d love to take you home. I don’t really wanna stop the show, but I thought you might like to know that the singer’s gonna sing a song, and the man’s name is Mike Nesmith.
