[Verse 1]
Wake up, wake up, darlin' Corey
What makes you sleep so sound?
The revenue officers are comin'
Gonna tear your stillhouse down
[Verse 2]
Well, the first time I've seen darlin' Corey
She was standin' by the sea
Had a .45 strapped around her bosom
She had a banjo on her knee
[Banjo Solo]
[Verse 1]
Wake up, wake up, darlin' Corey
What makes you sleep so sound?
The revenue officers are comin'
Gonna tear your stillhouse down
[Verse 3]
Go away, go away, darlin' Corey
Quit hangin' around my bed
Bad liquor has ruined my body
Pretty women gone to my head
Wake up, wake up, darlin' Corey
What makes you sleep so sound?
The revenue officers are comin'
Gonna tear your stillhouse down
