                                               Creede, Colorado Flood (circa 1890's)



Cy Warman, Editor of the 'Creede Chronicle', wrote in his poem of the boom days, "It's day all day in the daytime, and there is no night in Creede".  Colorful characters in town at that time included Poker Alice, Soapy Smith, and Bob Ford (killer of Jesse James). Ford was himself gunned down in a Creede saloon. The boom lasted from 1889 until the demonetization of silver in 1893. 
Day All Day

it’s day all day in the daytime,
and there ain’t no night in Creede.
and a man can find about anything
that he would ever need.

Poker Alice is dealing cards with a stogie in her mouth.
and Soapy’s fleecing greenhorns
that come up from the south.    (and he cleans ‘em out)

          it’s day all day in the daytime,
          and there ain’t no night in Creede;
          there ain’t no night in Creede.

two men struck silver in ‘89
and opened up the door;
and just the other day I heard
that someone killed Bob Ford.  (oh, good Lord)

some say  that it served him right
for shooting Jesse James.
but others liked him anyway,
and said it was a shame.  (you know, the way he got the same)

          it’s day all day in the daytime.
          and there ain’t no night in Creede.
          there ain’t no night in Creede.
          it’s day all day in the daytime. (Day all Day)
          it’s day all day in the daytime. (Day all Day)
          and  there ain’t no night in Creede.
