Lyrics

Wake up, wake up, darlin' Cory

What makes you sleep so sound?

Them revenue officers are comin'

Gonna tear your stillhouse down


Well the first time I seen darlin' Cory

She was sittin' by the banks of the sea

Had a forty-four strapped across her bosom

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

Gonna lay darlin' Cory down


Well, the last time I seen darlin' Cory

She was standing in the door

With her shoes and stockings in her hand

And her feet all over the floor


Wake up, wake up, darlin' Cory

What makes you sleep so sound?

Them revenue officers are comin'

Gonna tear your stillhouse 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

Gonna lay darlin' Cory down
