"Dig A Hole" lyrics

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
We're going to lay darling Corey down

Well, now the first time I seen darling Corey
She was a standing on the banks of the sea
A 45 pistol on her forearm
And a 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
We're going to lay darling Corey down

Wake up, wake up, darling Corey
What makes you sleep so sound?
Them darn coal officers a coming
Their going to tear your playhouse 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
We're going to lay darling Corey down
