Darling Cora

Wake up, wake up, my darlin'

Go run and get my gun

Now I ain't no man for trouble

But I'll die before I run

Last night upon my pillow

There sat upon my bed

Got them prisons walls around me

Them cold chains on my legs

Well, I never missed my woman

Until the day she died

And I never missed my water

Till the day my spring ran dry

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

And lay my darlin' down

Oh, the last time I seen my darlin'

She's a-sittin' on the banks of the sea

With her .44 on her shoulder

And her banjo on her knee

Wake up, wake up, my darlin'

What makes you sleep so sound?

Them highwaymen are comin'

Gonna burn our still house down

Gonna burn our still house down
