Intro

Chorus

Hey hey cripple creek ferry

Butting through the overhanging trees

Make way for the cripple creek ferry

The water's going down

It's a mighty tight sque eze

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 water's going down

It's a mighty tight squeeze (to fade)
