Darlin' Cory

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

Lay my darlin’ Cory down

Wake up darlin’ Cory, what makes you sleep so sound?

Them jailhouse officers are coming, they gonna tear your steel house 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

Lay my darlin’ Cory down

When I saw Darlin’ Cory, she was sitting by the banks of the sea

She had a pistol in her pocket, 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

Lay my darlin’ Cory down

Wake up darlin cory, before I get my gun

I ain’t been a man of violence, but I’ll be damned if I run

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

Lay my darlin’ Cory down
