Darling Corey (Carnegie Hall version)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Wake up, wake up, darlin' Corey What makes you sleep so sound? The revenue officers are comin' Gonna tear your stillhouse down [Verse 2] Well, the first time I've seen darlin' Corey She was standing by the sea Had a .45 strapped around her bosom She had a banjo on her knee (Oh my, dance) [Banjo Solo] [Verse 3] Go away, go away, darlin' Corey Quit hangin' around my bed Bad liquor has ruined my body Pretty women gone to my head [Verse 4] Oh yes, oh yes, my darlin' I'll do the best I can But I'll never give my pleasure To another gamblin' man [Verse 5] Dig a holе, dig a hole in the meadow Dig a holе in the cold ground Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow Gonna lay darlin' Corey down
