Cora Is Gone
[Verse 1]
The wind through the night, blowing so lonesome
Singing to me a song
Whippoorwill call is just a reminder
Pretty girls have hearts made of stone
[Chorus]
I’ll wake with the blues at dawn
My darlin' Cory is gone
I don’t know why she told me goodbye
But my darlin' Cory is gone
[Verse 2]
The ring that she wears I bought for her finger
Purchased her raiment so fine
Gave her my last green back dollar
And now she’s left me behind
[Chorus]
I’ll wake with the blues at dawn
My darlin' Cory is gone
I don’t know why she told me goodbye
But my darlin' Cory is gone
[Verse 3]
Drifting along like brush on a river
Caring not where I roam
Goin' to live in a deep forest
Dark hollow will be my new home
[Chorus x2]
I’ll wake with the blues at dawn
My darlin' Cory is gone
I don’t know why she told me goodbye
But my darlin' Cory is gone
