Artist/Band: Burl Ives
Lyrics for Song: Darlin' cory
Lyrics for Album: Jesse James [2011]



Burl Ives - Darlin' cory



Wake up, wake up darlin cory

Tell me what makes you sleep so sound

The revenue officers are comin

Gonna tear your still house down

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 darlin cory down



Oh the first time I saw darlin cory

She was standin in the door

She had her shoes and her stockings in her hand

And her little bare feet on the floor



Oh the next time I saw darlin cory

She was standin by the banks of the sea

she had a 44 strapped around her body

And a banjo on her knee



Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow...



Oh the last time I saw darlin cory

She had a wine glass in her hand

She was drinkin that sweet liquor

With a low down gamblin man



Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow...
