Darlin Corey Lyrics by Amythyst Kiah

Dig

2013

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
We gonna lay darlin' Corey down
Wake up, wake up darlin' Corey
What makes you sleep so sound?
The revenue officers are comin'
Gonna tear your still house down
Well, the first time I saw darlin' Corey
She was sittin' on the banks of the sea
A 44 wrapped around her body
And a banjo on her knee
Dig a hole in the meadow
Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
Dig a hole, dig a hole in thе meadow
We gonna lay darlin' Corey down
Wе gonna lay darlin' Corey down
We gonna lay darlin' Corey down
Go away, go away, darlin' Corey
Quit hanging 'round my bed
Your liquor has ruined my body
Pretty woman gone to my head
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
We gonna lay darlin' Corey down
We gonna lay darlin' Corey down
We gonna lay darlin' Corey down
Can you hear them bluebirds singing?
Can you hear that mournful sound?
They’re preaching Corey’s funeral
In some lonesome graveyard ground
Dig a hole in the meadow
Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
We gonna lay darlin' Corey down
We gonna lay darlin' Corey down
We gonna lay darlin' Corey down
We gonna lay darlin' Corey down
We gonna lay darlin' Corey down
