Lyrics: Wake up, wake up Darlin Cora Wanna see you one more time The sheriff and his hound dogs a coming I gotta move on down the line I dont know why Darlin Cora Dont know what the reason can be But I never had found a single town Where me and my boss-man agree I aint a man to be played with I aint nobodys toy Been working for my pay for a long, long time How come he still calls me boy Well Id rather drink muddy water And sleep in a hollowed out log Than to hang around in this old town And be treated like a dirty dog Well I whopped that man Darlin Cora And he fell down where he stood Dont know if I was wrong Darlin Cora But Lord it sure felt good If it wasnt so dark Darlin Cora Youd see tears trickling down my face It breaks my heart Darlin Cora But I got to leave this place Wake up, wake up darlin Cora |
