Darling Corey Lyrics
Darling Corey - The Weavers
Wake up wake up darling Corey
What makes you sleep so sound
The revenue officers are coming
Gonna tear your still house down
Well the first time I seen darling Corey
She was standing by the sea
Had a forty-four strapped around her bosom
She had a banjo on her knee
Wake up wake up darling Corey
What makes you sleep so sound
The revenue officers are coming
Gonna tear your still house down
Go away go away darling Corey
Quit hanging around my bed
Bad liquor has ruined my body
Pretty women gone to my head
Oh yes oh yes my darlin'
I'll do the best I can
But I'll never give my pleasure
With another gamblin' man
Dig a hole dig a hole in the meadow
Dig a hole in the cold ground
Dig a hole dig a hole in the meadow
Gonna lay darling Corey down
