Darling Corey Songtext
von Bill Monroe

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

Well, the last time I saw darling Corey
Was on the banks of the deep blue sea
Two pistols around her body
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
Gonna lay darling Corey down


Wake up, wake up, darling Corey
And go get me my gun
I ain′t no man for trouble
But I'll die before I′ll 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
Gonna lay darling Corey down

Wake up, wake up, darling Corey
What makes you sleep so sound?
The highway robbers are coming
They're going to tear your playhouse 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
Gonna lay darling Corey down
