"Shootin' Creek" lyrics - CHARLIE POOLE

Buy me a horse and make me a sled
Nobody rides with Ida Red
Ida Red she lives in town
She weighs four hundred and forty pounds

Going up Shootin' Creek, going in a run
Going up Shootin' Creek, have a little fun

Ida Red she's a darned old fool
Tried to put a saddle on a humpbacked mule
Up the road and across the creek
Can't get a letter but once a week

Going up Shootin' Creek, going in a run
Going up Shootin' Creek, have a little fun

Going up Shootin' Creek, going in a run
Take my razor and a Gatling gun

Going up Shootin' Creek, going in a run
Going up Shootin' Creek, have a little fun

Going up Shootin' Creek, going in a run
Take my razor and a Gatling gun
