[Verse 1]
G                   C            G
I got a gal at the head of the creek
G                            D            G
goin up to see her bout the middle of the week
G                              C       G
kiss her on the mouth just as sweet as wine
G                               D           G
wraps herself around me like a sweet potato vine
 
[Chorus]
   G                       C          G
   Goin' up Cripple Creek goin' in a run
   G                          D         G
   Goin' up Cripple Creek to have some fun.
   G                       C         G
   Goin' up Cripple Creek goin in a whirl

   Goin' up Cripple Creek , see my girl
 
[Verse 2]
G                 C        G
I got a girl and she loves me
G                  D        G
She's as sweet as sweet can be
G                  C    G
She's got eyes of baby blue
G                    D         G
Makes my gun shoot straight and true.

I have made a correction. at the end of the first verse the word "vine" should have a G chord above it.
