Darling Corey
Wake up, wake up darling Corey
Tell me what makes you sleep so sound?
Them highway robbers are coming
They're ringing around your town
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 darling Corey down
Go away, go away darling Corey
Quit hangin' around my bed
Pretty women gonna run me distracted
Corn liquor is killing me dead
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 darling Corey down
Oh, the first time I saw darling Corey
She was standing in the door
She had her shoes and her stockings in her hands
And her little bare feet on the floor
Oh, the next time I saw darling Corey
She was sitting on the banks of the sea
She had a forty-four strapped around her body
And a banjo on her knee
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 darling Corey down
Oh, last time I saw darling Corey
She had a wine glass in her hand
She was drinking that sweet liquor
With a low-down, gambling 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 darling Corey down
Don't you hear those bluebirds singing?
Don't you hear that mournful sound?
They're preaching Corey's funeral
In the lonesome graveyard 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 darling Corey down
Tell me what makes you sleep so sound?
Them highway robbers are coming
They're ringing around your town
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 darling Corey down
Go away, go away darling Corey
Quit hangin' around my bed
Pretty women gonna run me distracted
Corn liquor is killing me dead
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 darling Corey down
Oh, the first time I saw darling Corey
She was standing in the door
She had her shoes and her stockings in her hands
And her little bare feet on the floor
Oh, the next time I saw darling Corey
She was sitting on the banks of the sea
She had a forty-four strapped around her body
And a banjo on her knee
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 darling Corey down
Oh, last time I saw darling Corey
She had a wine glass in her hand
She was drinking that sweet liquor
With a low-down, gambling 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 darling Corey down
Don't you hear those bluebirds singing?
Don't you hear that mournful sound?
They're preaching Corey's funeral
In the lonesome graveyard 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 darling Corey down
