Darlin Corey:Big John Khat And The
Highland Blues Band.(1961.)
(The traditional is in Key of D..But I like BJK s
version in A..so, please don t send me e-mails.)
#1.
Wake up, wake up, darling Corey..
what makes you sleep so sound?
The revenue officers are coming..
they re gonna tear your still-house down.
#2.
Well, the first time I seen darling Corey..
she was sitting by the banks of the sea.
Had a .44 strapped around her body..
and a five-string banjo on her knee.
#3.
Go away, go away, darling Corey.
Quit hanging around my bed.
Your liquor has ruined my body..
pretty women gone to my head.
#4.
Dig a hole, dig a hole, in the meadow.
Dig a hole in the cold damp ground.
Dig a hole, dig a hole, in the meadow..
we re gonna lay darling Corey down.
#5.
Can t you hear them bluebirds a-singing?
Don t you hear that mournful sound?
They re preaching darling Corey s funeral..
in some lonesome graveyard ground.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
