darlin' corey
Singer:ricky skaggs
what makes you sleep so sound
the revenue officers are coming
they're gonna tear your still house down. well
the first time i seen darling corey
she was sitting on the banks of the sea
had a forty-four around her body
and a banjo on her knee. go away
quit hanging around my bed
your liquor has ruined my body
pretty women gone to my head. dig a hole
gonna lay darling corey down. can't you hear those bluebirds a singing
don't you hear that mournful sound
they're preaching darling corey's funeral
in some lonesome graveyard ground. wake up
i ain't no man for fightin'
but i'll die before i run.
