Flatt & Scruggs - Cora Is Gone lyrics

The wind through the night is blowing so lonesome Singing to me a song A whippoorwill call is just a reminder Pretty girls have hearts made of stone I'll wake with the blues at dawn My darling Cora is gone I don't know why she told me goodbye But my darling Cora is gone 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 Drifting along like a brush on a river Caring not where I roam Going to live in a deep forest Dark hollow will be my new home
