1. 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

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
