Darlin’ Cory Lyrics by Daniel Donato

Cosmic Country & Western Songs

2021

[Intro]
It's not in the spirit
[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
Lay my darlin' Cory down
[Verse 1]
Wake up darlin' Cory
What makes you sleep so sound?
Them jailhouse officers are comin'
They're gonna tear your still house down
[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
Lay my darlin' Cory down
[Verse 2]
When I saw darlin' Cory
She was sittin' by the banks of the sea
She had a pistol in her pocket
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
Lay my darlin' Cory down
[Verse 3]
Get gone, darlin' Cory
Before I get my gun
I ain't a man of violence
But I'll be damned if I run
[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
Lay my darlin' Cory down
[Instrumental Break]
[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
Lay my darlin' Cory 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
Lay my darlin' Cory down
