Harry Belafonte - Musical Moments to Remember: Harry Belafonte – Mister Calypso in Studio & On Stage (2015 Digital Remaster)

Darlin' Cora (Live)

Wake up, wake up, darlin' Cora
Wanna see you one more time
The sheriff and his hound dogs are coming
I gotta move on down the line

I don't know why, darlin' Cora
Don't know what the reason can be
But I never yet found a single town
Where me and the boss-man agree

I ain't a man to be played with
I ain't nobody's toy
Been working for my pay for a long, long time
How come he still calls me boy?

Well, I'd rather drink muddy water
And sleep in a hollowed out log
Than to hang around in this old town
And be treated like a dirty dog

Well, I whopped that man, darlin' Cora
And he fell down where he stood
Don't know if I was wrong, darlin' Cora
But Lord, it sure felt good

If it wasn't so dark, darlin' Cora
You'd see tears trickling down my face
It breaks my heart, darlin' Cora
But I got to leave this place
Wake up, wake up, darlin' Cora
