SHOOTIN' CREEK [3]. American, Reel (cut time). USA, North Carolina. F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The title refers to the same Franklin County, Va., bootlegging area as other "Shooting Creek" tunes. Members of the famous early 20th century string band Charlie Poole and the North Carolina Ramblers spent a good deal of time in the area between 1924 and 1931 and recorded a tune under the title. Joel Shimberg points out the the Ramblers’ “Shootin’ Creek” is really a version of “Cripple Creek.”

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.

Cho:
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.
