[Lyric] Darling Cora (Nora Brown)

[Verse 1]
Wake up, wake up, my darlin'
Go run and get my gun
Now, I ain't no man for trouble
But I'll die before I run

[Verse 2]
Last night, upon my pillow
Last night, upon my bed
Got them prison walls around me
Them cold chains on my neck

[Verse 3]
Well, I never missed my woman
Until the day she died
And I never missed my water
'Til the day my spring ran dry

[Chorus]
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
And lay my darlin' down
{Verse 4]
Oh, the last time I seen my darlin'
She's a-sittin' on the banks of the sea
With her forty-four on her shoulder
And her banjo on her knee

[Verse 5]
Wake up, wake up, my darlin'
What makes you sleep so sound
Them highwaymen are comin'
Gonna burn our still house down
Gonna burn our still house down
