Wake up, wake up, darling Corey
What makes you sleep so sound?
Them highway robbers are a-comin'
They're a-radin' around your town
Well, the last time I seen darlin' Corey
She's a-sittin' on the banks of the sea
With a .44 buckle 'round her
And a banjo on her knee
Wake up, wake up, darling Corey
What makes you sleep so late?
Them burglars, they all are a-comin'
They're a-waitin' outside your gate
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 and fetch me my gun
Lord, I ain't no man for trouble
But I'll die before I'll run
