Lyrics

Get up, get up, darling Corey
What makes you sleep so sound?
Them highway robbers are coming
They're gonna tear your still house down
Get up, get up, darling Corey
And go bring me my gun
I ain't no man for trouble
I'm gonna die before I run
Well, the first time I saw darling Corey
She was sitting on the deep blue sea
With a .44 around her
And a banjo on her knee
And the last time I saw darling Corey
Had a wine glass in her hand
She was drinking down her trouble
With a low down sorry man
Dig a hole, dig a hole down in the meadow
Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
Dig a hole, dig a hole, dig a hole down in that meadow
I'm gonna lay darling Corey down
Can't you hear them bluebirds a-singing?
Can't you hear their lone mournful sound?
Well, they're preaching Corey's funeral
To that lonesome graveyard ground
Go away, go away, darling Corey
Go and do the best you can
I'll get me another woman
You can't get you another man
Oh yes, oh yes, my darling
Well, I'll do the best I can
But I'll never give my pleasure
For another gambling man
