Stephen Wade, John Cephas - Darlin' Cory
текст песни

Wake up, wake up, Darlin' Corey
What makes you sleep so sound
The revenue officers are coming
They're fonna tear your still-house down

Well the first time I seen Darlin' Corey
She was sitting by the banks of the sea
Had a forty-five strapped around her bosom
And a banjo on her knee

Well the last time I seen Darlin' Cory
She had a dram glass in her hand
She was drinkin' down mounds of trouble
With a no good gamblin' man

Oh yes, oh yes my Darlin' Cory
I'll do the best I can
But I'll never give my troubles
To another gamblin' man

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 Darlin' Cory down
