Flatt and 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 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 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 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
