"Cripple Creek" with Tracy Newman on the 5-string banjo

Описание: In 1965, I did 6 episodes of a public TV series called "What's New." I presented folk songs from all over the world, and many instruments, to the best of my ability at the time. We shot these episodes at Brooklyn College and Joan Sheppard was the director.


LYRICS:
I got a gal 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.

   Goin’ up Cripple Creek goin’ in a run
   Goin’ up Cripple Creek to have a little fun.
Goin’ up Cripple Creek goin’ on a whirl
   Goin’ up Cripple Creek to find my girl.

Cripple Creek’s wide and Cripple Creek’s deep
I’ll make Cripple Creek before I sleep
Roll my breeches to my knees
Wade ol’ Cripple Creek as I please

Goin’ up Cripple Creek goin’ in a run
Goin’ up Cripple Creek to have a little fun.
Goin’ up Cripple Creek goin’ on a whirl
Goin’ up Cripple Creek to find my girl
