lyrics

Well, wake up, wake up Darlin' Cory
What makes you sleep so sound?
Them revenue officers are comin'
Gon' tear your house down

Well, the first time I saw Darlin' Cory
She was standin' at the banks of the sea
Forty-four pistol around her waist
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;
Gon' lay Cory down

Well, can't you hear them bluebirds singin'?
They're singin' that mournful sound
Preachin' Cory's funeral
In some lonesome graveyard town

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;
Gon' lay Cory down
