DARLING COREY

Wake up, wake up, Darlin' Corey
What makes you sleep so sound?
Them revenue officers a'commin'
For to tear your still-house down

Well the first time I seen Darlin' Corey
She was settin' by the side of the sea
With a forty-four strapped across her bosom
And a banjo on her knee

Dig a hole, dig a hole, in the medder
Dig a hole, in the col' col' groun'
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the medder
Goin' ter lay Darlin' Corey down

The next time I seen Darlin' Corey
She was standin' in the still-house door
With her shoes and stockin's in her han'
An' her feet all over the floor

Wake up,wake up Darlin Corey
Quit hangin' roun' my bed
Hard likker has ruined my body
Pretty wimmen has killed me mos' dead

Wake up, wake up my darlin'
Go do the best you can
I've got me another woman
You can get you another man
Oh yes, oh yes my darlin'
I'll do the best I can
But I'll never take my pleasure
With another gamblin' man

Don' you hear them blue-birds singin'?
Don' you hear that mournful sound?
They're preachin' Corey's funeral
In some lonesome buryin' groun'

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 by the banks of the sea
Had a forty-four around her body
And a five-string 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 damp ground
Dig a hole dig a hole in the meadow
We're gonna lay darling Corey down

Can't you hear them bluebirds a-singing
Don't you hear that mournful sound
They're preaching darling Corey's funeral
In some lonesome graveyard ground.
