DARLING COREY




1. Wake up, wake up, darling Corey
   What makes you sleep so sound
   The revenue officers are coming
   Gonna tear your still-house down


2. Go away, go away, darling Corey
   Quit hanging around my bed
   Your liquor has ruined my body
   Pretty woman gone to my head


(Chorus) 
    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
    Gonna lay darling Corey down


3. 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

Chorus:


    Gonna lay darling Corey down
