'''CRIPPLE CREEK'''. AKA – "[[Going Up Cripple Creek]]," "[[Going Down Cripple Creek]]," "[[Going Up Brushy Fork]]," "[[Going Down Brushy Fork]]," "[[Going Up Shootin' Creek]]," "[[Going Down Shootin' Creek]]," "[[Red Creek]]," "[[Shooting Creek (3)]]." American, Reel (cut time). USA, Widely known. A Major (Beisswenger & McCann, Brody, Phillips): C Major (second of Thede's versions): G Major (Beisswenger & McCann, Ford). Standard, GDgd, AEae, ADae, AEac# tunings (fiddle). AABB (Beisswenger & McCann, Brody, Phillips, Thede): AABBCC (Ford): AA'BBCC' (Phillips/1994). The tune had and still has wide currency throughout the South, although more popular in the Appalachians than in the Midwest. There have been several suggestions about the origin of the title and tune, with modern speculations that 'cripple' refers to a 'crooked' or meandering stream. The '''Oxford English Dictionary''' lists two relevant American meanings of 'cripple' current in the 19th century: a) a dense thicket in swampy or low-lying ground, and b) a lumberman's term for a rocky shallow in a stream. Folklorist Alan Jabbour, of the Library of Congress found that the oldest Appalachian fiddlers he collected from could recall the first time that they had heard "Cripple Creek," leading Jabbour to speculate that the title might have something to do with the Cripple Creek, Colorado, labor troubles. Gold had been discovered there in 1891 and the labor disputes date from 1903–1904. | '''CRIPPLE CREEK'''.
