A Little Banjo Frailing on You Tube: Cripple Creek

by Fabricari - 5:32 PM (link)



Man, oh man, I had a lot of fun learning this one.

Lyrics:

I got a gal at the head of the creek,
Goin' up to see her the middle of the week,
Kiss her on the mouth just as sweet as any wine,
She wraps herself around me like a sweet potato vine.

Goin' up to Cripple Creek, goin' on a whirl,
Goin' up to Cripple Creek to see my girl,
Goin' up to Cripple Creek, goin' on a run,
Goin' up to Cripple Creek to have a little fun.

Girls up on Cripple Creek, 'bout half grown,
Jump on a boy like a dog on a bone,
Roll my britches up to my knee,
I'll wade Cripple Creek when I please.

Goin' up to Cripple Creek, goin' on a whirl,
Goin' up to Cripple Creek to see my girl,
Goin' up to Cripple Creek, goin' on a run,
Goin' up to Cripple Creek to have a little fun.

That was very entertaining. A job well done. I'm learning to play a 5 string myself, scruggs style.

Thanks! I've pretty much fallen into clawhammer technique, but I'm appreciating scruggs style more and more.
