lyrics

wake up wake up darlin corey
what makes you sleep so sound
revenue officers are comin
gonna burn your still house down

go away go away darlin corey
quit hangin round my bed
pretty women runnin me distracted
corn liquor killin me most dead

well the last time i saw darlin corey
she was standin on the banks of the sea
had a fourty four pistol strapped around her
and a banjo on her knee

well the last time i saw darlin corey
she had a dram glass in her hand
she was drinkin away her troubles
with a low down gamblin man

go away go away darlin corey
youll do the best you can
ill go find me another woman
you go find you another man

do you hear them lonesome bluebirds
makin that sad sad sound
weepin my darlin coreys funeral
from some lonesome buryin ground

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 my darlin corey down
