Darling Corey Songtext
von The Doc Watson Family

Wake up, wake up darling Corey
What makes you sleep so sound?
Them highway robbers are a′coming
They're a′ringing around your town
Well, the last time I seen darling Corey
She was a'sitting on the banks of the sea
And a .44 buckled 'round her
Had a banjo on her knee
Wake up, wake up darling Corey
What makes you sleep so late?


Them burglars, they all are a′coming
They′re a'waiting outside your gate
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
Wake up, wake up darling Corey
And go and fetch me my gun
Lord, I ain′t no man for trouble
But I'll die before I run
