Cora Is Gone

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
My darling Cora is gone

The ring that she wears I bought for her finger
Purchased her raiment’s 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
