Cora is gone
The winds through the night is blowing so lonesome Singing to me a song A whippoowill 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 raiments so fine Gave her my last green back dollar And now she's left me behind * Refrain Drifting alone like brush on a river Caring not where I roam Going to live in the deep forest Dark hollow will be my new home * Refrain
