Lyrics

Give me cornbread when I'm hungry
Corn whiskey when I'm dry
Pretty women all around me when I'm livin'
God and his angels when I die
If I had listened to my mama
I would not be here today
Drinkin' down and gamblin'
Wastin' my whole life away
Once I had plenty of money
And friends in this world all around
Now my pocketbook is empty
Not a friend in this world can be found
At the bottom of the bottle
The lurkin' demons dwell
They'll waste away your body
Send your soul to Hell
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 watch this old rounder go down
Give me cornbread when I'm hungry
Corn whiskey when I'm dry
Pretty women all around me while I'm livin'
And God and his angels when I die
