Dig a Hole in the Meadow

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

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

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
