Flatt And Scruggs - Cora Is Gone lyrics

rate me

The wind 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

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 raiment so fine

Gave her my last green back dollar

And now she's left me behind

Drifting along like a brush on a river

Caring not where I roam

Going to live in a deep forest

Dark hollow will be my new home
