Cripple Creek Ferry Lyrics

Cripple Creek Ferry

Hey, hey
    Cripple Creek ferry
Butting through
    the overhanging trees
Make way
    for the Cripple Creek ferry
The waters going down
    it's a mighty tight squeeze.

All alone the captain stands
Hasn't heard
    from his deck hands.
The gambler tips his hat
    and walks towards the door.
It's the second half
    of the cruise.
And you know he hates to lose.

Hey, hey Cripple Creek ferry
Butting through
    the overhanging trees
Make way
    for the Cripple Creek ferry
The waters going down
    it's a mighty tight squeeze.
