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 Cory down
 

Wake up wake up darling Cory
What makes you sleep so sound
The highway robbers are comin’
They’re gonna tear your playhouse down

Well the last time I seen darling Cory
On the banks of the deep blue sea
She had a a forty-four buckled around her
And a banjo on her knee

Wake up wake up darling Cory
And go get me my gun
I ain’t no man for trouble
But I’ll die before I run
