MEAN MARY JAMES CRIPPLE CREEK

Nice bluegrass start to the day.

Perfect coffee accompaniment.

Thank you, my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for sharing the music video of Mean Mary James performing Cripple Creek at at The Green Note in Camden Town district of northwest London, England.

Cripple Creek
Traditional Lyrics
"I got a girl and she loves me
She's as sweet as sweet can be
She's got eyes of baby blue
Makes my gun shoot straight and true

Going up Cripple Creek going in a run
Going up Cripple Creek to have some fun

Cripple Creek's wide and Cripple Creek's deep
I'll wade ole Cripple Creek before I sleep
Roll my breeches to my knees
I'll wade ole Cripple Creek when I please

* Refrain

I went down to Cripple Creek
To see what them girls had to eat
I got drunk and fell against the wall
Ole corn likker was the cause of it all

* Refrain

Alternate Refrain:
Goin' up cripple creek, goin' in a whirl,
Goin' up cripple creek, see my girl"
