Oh my—three songs in one week! This one’s
based on the old folk song Cripple Creek and
the saying "Step on a crack, break your mama's back."
Note that the first stanza is the chorus;
it gets repeated everywhere you see [ch].
[ch] Stepping on a cripple crack
Made my mama cry
Stepping on a cripple crack
Was the reason why
Mama wasn’t happy
When she broke her aching back
She cried a little
When she broke her sacroiliac
[ch]
Papa called the doctor
He was betting at the track
Doctor said he’s coming
He’d already lost a stack
[ch]
Mama lays in traction
Got her bed inside a rack
Doctor left my Pa
To cook and clean our little shack
Stepping on a cripple crack
Made my Papa cry
Stepping on a cripple crack
Was the reason why
