Darling Corey (Bluegrass) - Michael Daves

Well the first time I saw darling corey

I was standing on the banks of the sea

With a pistol around her body and a banjo on her knee

Dig a hole dig a hole in the middle

Dig a hole in the cold cold ground

Dig a hole dig a hole in the middle

Gonna lay darling corey down

Wake up wake up darling corey

What makes you sleep so sound

Well the highway robbers are coming

Gonna burn you playhouse down

Dig a hole dig a hole in the middle

Dig a hole in the cold cold ground

Dig a hole dig a hole in the middle

Gonna lay darling corey down

Wake up wake up darling corey

Go get me my gun

Well I ain't a man for trouble

But I'll die before I run

Dig a hole dig a hole in the middle

Dig a hole in the cold cold ground

Dig a hole dig a hole in the middle

Gonna lay darling corey down

Can't you hear those bluebirds singing

Can't you hear that mournful sound

They're holding corey's funeral

In some lonesome graveyard around

Dig a hole dig a hole in the middle

Dig a hole in the cold cold ground

Dig a hole dig a hole in the middle

Gonna lay darling corey down

Dig a hole dig a hole in the middle

Dig a hole in the cold cold ground

Dig a hole dig a hole in the middle

Gonna lay darling corey down
