Shootin' Creek 3:50
(Traditional)

(right-click to download)

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 -
She 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.

Old Timey-ers will no doubt notice that we built the fiddle tune “Richmond Square” over “Shootin’ Creek” and may suspect we had a little fun doing so ...
