Darling Corey

Wake up, wake up, darlin' Corey

What makes you sleep so sound?

The revenue officers are comin'

Gonna tear your stillhouse down

Well, the first time I seen darlin' Corey

She was standin' by the sea

Had a.45 strapped around her bosom

She had a banjo on her knee (My, how wonderful)

Go away, go away, darlin' Corey

Quit hangin' around my bed

That liquor has ruined my body

Pretty women gone to my head

Oh yes, oh yes, my darlin'

I'll do the best I can

But I'll never give my pleasure

To another gamblin' man

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 darlin' Corey down
