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.
