Corrina, corrina, gal where you been so long ?

Corrina, corrina, gal where you been so long ?

I've been worryin' about you baby, baby please come home.



I got a bird that whistles, I got a bird that sings.

I got a bird that whistles, I got a bird that sings,

But I ain't a-got corrina, life don't mean a thing.



Corrina, corrina, gal you're on my mind.

Corrina, corrina, gal you're on my mind.

I was in love thinkin' of you, I just can't keep from cryin'.

Corrina, Corrina
