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.
