Lyrics

Wake up, wake up darling Corey
 What makes you sleep so sound
 The revenue officers are coming
 They're gonna tear your still house down.
 Well, the first time I seen darling Corey
 She was sitting on the banks of the sea
 Had a forty-four around her body
 And a banjo on her knee.
 Go away, go away darling Corey
 Quit hanging around my bed
 Your liquor has ruined my body
 Pretty women gone to my head.
 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.
 Can't you hear those bluebirds a singing
 Don't you hear that mournful sound
 They're preaching darling Corey's funeral
 In some lonesome graveyard ground.
 Wake up, wake up Darlin Corey
 And go get me my gun
 I ain't no man for fightin'
 But I'll die before I run...
