"Darlin' Cory" lyrics

Wake up, wake up darlin' Cory
What makes you sleep so sound
The revenue officers are comin'
Gonna tear your still house down

Go away, go away darlin' Cory
Stop hanging around my bed
Bad liquor has ruined my body
Pretty women gone to my head

I'm going across the deep ocean
I'm going across the deep sea
I'm going across the deep ocean
Just to bring darlin' Cory to me

Go dig me a hole in the meadow
Go dig me a hole in the ground
Go dig me a hole in the meadow
Just to lay darlin' Cory down

Don't you hear them bluebirds a-singing
Don't you hear that mournful sound
They are preaching Cory's funeral
In some lonesome graveyard ground

Wake up, wake up darlin' Cory
What makes you sleep so sound
The revenue officers are comin'
Gonna tear your still house down
