Wake up, wake up, darling Corey..

               G        A
what makes you sleep so sound?

                         G
The revenue officers are coming..

              A         G           A
they're gonna tear your still-house down.

A
Well, the first time I seen darling Corey..

                       G            A
she was sitting by the banks of the sea.

                              G
Had a .44 strapped around her body..

      A           G            A
and a five-string banjo on her knee.

#3.

A
Go away, go away, darling Corey.

             G         A
Quit hanging around my bed.

                          G
Your liquor has ruined my body..

       A     G          A
pretty women gone to my head.

#4.

A
Dig a hole, dig a hole, in the meadow.

                  G         A
Dig a hole in the cold damp ground.

                               G
Dig a hole, dig a hole, in the meadow..

            A           G     A
we're gonna lay darling Corey down.

#5.

A
Can't you hear them bluebirds a-singing?

                    G        A
Don't you hear that mournful sound?

A                                 G
They're preaching darling Corey's funeral..

        A        G         A
in some lonesome graveyard ground.

A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
