 Wake up, wake up, Darling Corey What makes you sleep so sound? The revenue officer's coming Gonna tear your stillhouse down Well, the first time I saw Darling Corey Standing at the banks of the sea A .44 pistol round her waist 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 Can't you hear them bluebirds sing? They're singing their mournful sound They're preaching Corey's funeral In a lonesome graveyard town 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

For to see them pretty blue eyes Sparkling at another Like the stars in the midnight sky I'm going away Little Maggie Got my suitcase in my hand Will you go with me Little Maggie?

 Went out last night for to take a little round I met Little Sadie and I blowed her down I run right home and I went to bed A forty-four smokeless under my head I woke next morning at a half past nine The buggies and the hacks all swarmed in line The gents and the gamblers standing around I'm going to take Sadie to her burying ground Why, I begin to think what a deed I'd done I grabbed my hat and away I run I made a good run, just a little too slow They overtook me in Jericho Standing on the corner, ringing the bell Up stepped the sheriff from Thomasville Says, "Young man, ain't your name Brown? Don't you remember the night you blow Sadie down?" "Oh yes, sir, my name is Lee I murdered Little Sadie in the first-degree In the first-degree, in the second-degree If you got any papers, won't you read 'em to me?" Took me downtown to dressed me in black Put me on the train and sent me back Well I had no one for to go my bail They crammed me back in the county jail Judge and the jury took their stand Judge had his papers in his right hand Forty-one days, forty-one nights Forty-one years to wear the ball and the stripes

Down in the willow garden
G

Where me and my love did meet
G

It was there we sat a-courting

My love dropped off to sleep
C

I had a bottle of burgundy wine
C

Which my true love did not know
G

And there I poisoned that dear little girl
G
D7
G
Down under the banks below I stabbed her with my dagger Which was a bloody knife I threw her into the river Which was a dreadful sight My father often told me That money would set me free If I would murder that dear little girl Who's name was Rose Connelly Now he sits by his old cottage door Wiping his tear-dimmed eye Now he waits for his own dear son Upon that scaffold high My race is run beneath the sun Hell is now waiting for me For I did murder that dear little girl Who's name was Rose Connelly
