Darling Cora

Wake up, wake up, my darling Go run and get my gun Now, I ain't no man for trouble But I'll die before I run Last night, upon my pillow Last night upon my bed Got them prison walls around me Them cold chains on my neck Well, I never missed my woman Until the day she died And I never missed my water Till the day my spring ran dry 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 And lay my darlin' down Oh, the last time I seen my darlin' She's a-sittin' on the banks of the sea With her .44 on her shoulder And her banjo on her knee Wake up, wake up, my darlin' What makes you sleep so sound? Them highway men are comin' Gonna burn our still house down Gonna burn our still house down
