Wake up wake up Darlin’ CoreyWhat makes you sleep so soundThe revenue officers are comingThey’re gonna tear your still house downWell the last time I seen Darlin’ CoreyWas on the banks of the deep blue seaTwo pistols around her bodyAnd a banjo on her kneeWake up wake up Darlin’ CoreyAnd go get me my gunI ain’t no man for troubleBut I’ll die before I runDig a hole dig a hole in the meadowGo and dig a hole in the groundDig a hole dig a hole in the meadowGonna lay Darlin’ Corey down
