Darlin' Corey Lyrics - Flatt And Scruggs

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 by the banks of the sea 

Had a forty-four around her body 

And a five-string 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 damp ground 

Dig a hole dig a hole in the meadow 

We're gonna lay darling Corey down.
