Darling Corey (Live) Lyrics by Crooked Still

Crooked Still (Live)

2009

[Verse 1]
Wake up, wake up, darling Corey
Tell me, what makes you sleep so sound?
Them highway robbers are coming
They're ringing around your town
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Go away, go away, darling Corey
Quit hangin' around my bed
Pretty women gonna run me distracted
Corn liquor is killing me dead
[Chorus]
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, lay her down
[Verse 3]
Oh, the first time I saw darling Corey
She was standing in the door
She had her shoes and her stockings in her hands
And her little bare feet on the floor
Oh, the next time I saw my Corey
She was sitting on the banks of the sea
She had a .44 strapped around her body
And a banjo on her knee
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
Oh, last time I saw my Corey
She had a wine glass in her hand
She was drinking that sweet liquor
With a low-down, gambling man
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 5]
Don't you hear those bluebirds singing?
Hear that mournful sound?
They're preaching Corey's funeral
In the lonesome graveyard ground
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Thank you
