I got a gal at the head of the creek
Goin up t' see her 'bout the middle of the week
Kiss her on the mouth, just as sweet as any wine
Wraps herself around me like a sweet potatoe vine
Goin' up t' Cripple Creek, goin' on the run
Goin' up t' Cripple Creek t' have a little fun
Goin' up t' Cripple Creek, goin in a whirl
Goin' up t' Cripple Creek t' see my girl
Girls up on Cripple Creek about half grown
Jump on a man like a dog on a bone
I'll roll my britches up to my knees
An' wade in ol' Cripple Creek when I please

cluck old hen cluck and sing
aint seen an egg since way last spring
cluck old hen cluck and squall
aint laid an egg since way last fall
my old hens a good old hen
she lays eggs for the railroad men
sometimes one sometimes two
sometimes enough for the whole damn crew
I had an old hen she had a wooden leg
best old hen that never laid an egg
laid more eggs than any hen around the barn
another drink of whiskey wouldnt do me any harm

with love in his heart and flowers in hand
Johnny proposed to Sally Ann
Sally shivered as she said
I'll love you till the day I'm dead
Johnny got married in his one good suit
but the ride from church bore strange fruit
down by the road you can hear her cry
as he hung from a tree, she watched him die
who's gonna dance with Sally Ann
who's gonna touch her tremblin' hand
when the fiddler takes the stand
who's gonna dance with Sally Ann
Sally attends every wedding 'round here
lookin' for her Johnny dear
you can feel them in that room
when the fiddler plays that tune
darkened shadows cross the floor
as ghostly lovers dance once more
when weddin' bells ring in that town
a ghostly virgin strolls the ground

The chickens are crowing in the old pine tree
down in North Carolina
Water bound and I can't get home
Say old man I want your daughter
Tell me boy what you want her for
To break my bread and share my water
If you don't let her go we're gonna run away
The old man's mad and I don't care
Get up Jennie and let's go home
