Lyrics:
CHORUS:
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 darling Corey down

Wake up wake up darling Corey
What makes you sleep so sound
The revenue men are a'coming
Gonna tear your still house down

Wake up wake up Darlin Corey
Wake up and fetch my gun
I never was a man for trouble
But I'll die before I run

CHORUS

Go away go away darling Corey
Quit hanging around my bed
Corn liquor has ruined my body
Pretty women will kill me dead

The last time I seen darling Corey
She was sitting on the bank of the sea
Had a forty-four around her
And a banjer on her knee

CHORUS

CHORUS
