Shootin’ Creek (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
