    We're going to lay darling Corey down

Well, now the first time I seen darling Corey
She was a standing on the banks of the sea
A 45 Pistol on her forearm
And a banjo on her knee

 * Refrain

Wake up, wake up, darling Corey
What makes you sleep so sound?
Them darn coal officers a coming
Their going to tear your playhouse down

  * Refrain
