Darling Corey |
| Wake up, wake up darling Corey |
| What makes you sleep so sound |
| The revenue officers are coming |
| They’re gonna tear your still house down |
| Well, the first time I seen darling Corey |
| She was sitting on the banks of the sea |
| Had a forty-four around her body |
| And a banjo on her knee |
| Go away, go away darling Corey |
| Quit hanging around my bed |
| Your liquor has ruined my body |
| Pretty women gone to my head |
| Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow |
| Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground |
| Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow |
| Gonna lay darling Corey down |
| Can’t you hear those bluebirds a singing |
| Don’t you hear that mournful sound |
| They’re preaching darling Corey’s funeral |
| In some lonesome graveyard ground |
| Wake up, wake up Darlin Corey |
| And go get me my gun |
| I ain’t no man for fightin' |
| But I’ll die before I run… |
