Darling Corey Lyrics

Well the first time I saw darling Corey
Was on the banks of the deep blue sea
Had a forty-four around her body
And a banjo on her knee
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 darling Corey down

Wake up wake up darling Corey
What makes you sleep so sound
Lord the highway robbers are comin'
Gonna tear your playhouse 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 darling Corey down

Wake up wake up darling Corey
And go get me my gun
I ain't no man for trouble
But I'll die before I run
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 darling Corey 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 darling Corey down
