“Cripple Creek“ with Tracy Newman on the 5-string banjo

In 1965, I did 6 episodes of a public TV series called “What’s New.“ I presented folk songs from all over the world, and many instruments, to the best of my ability at the time. We shot these episodes at Brooklyn College and Joan Sheppard was the director. LYRICS: I got a gal and she loves me She’s as sweet as sweet can be She’s got eyes of baby blue Makes my gun shoot straight and true.    Goin’ up Cripple Creek goin’ in a run    Goin’ up Cripple Creek to have a little fun. Goin’ up Cripple Creek goin’ on a whirl    Goin’ up Cripple Creek to find my girl. Cripple Creek’s wide and Cripple Creek’s deep I’ll make Cripple Creek before I sleep Roll my breeches to my knees Wade ol’ Cripple Creek as I please Goin’ up Cripple Creek goin’ in a run Goin’ up Cripple Creek to have a little fun. Goin’ up Cripple Creek goin’ on a whirl Goin’ up Cripple Creek to find my girl
