Traditional
- The winds 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
Chorus:
I'll wake with the blues at dawn
My darling Cora is gone
I don't know why she told me good-bye
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
Chorus:...
- 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
Chorus:...
