The Brothers Four - Darlin' Corey lyrics

Wake up, wake up Darlin' Cora Wanna see you one more time The sheriff and his hound dogs a coming I gotta move on down the line. I don't know why darlin' Cora Don't know what the reason can be But I never had found a single town Where me and my boss-man agree. I ain't a man to be played with I ain't nobody's toy Been working for my pay for a long, long time How come he still calls me boy. Well I'd rather drink muddy water And sleep in a hollowed out log Than to hang around in this old town And be treated like a dirty dog. Well I whopped that man darlin' Cora And he fell down where he stood Don't know if I was wrong darlin' Cora But Lord it sure felt good. If it wasn't so dark darlin' Cora You'd see tears trickling down my face It breaks my heart darlin' Cora But I got to leave this place. Wake up, wake up darlin' Cora...
