Little Cory Jean Ritchie

[Verse 1]
Wake up, wake up, little Cory
What makes you sleep so sound?
When the marshals are a-comin'
Gonna tear your still-house down

[Verse 2]
Go 'way, go 'way, little Cory
Quit your hangin' around my bed
Bad liquor has ruint my body
Pretty women has gone to my head

[Verse 3]
The last time I seen little Cory
She was standin' with a bottle in her hand
A-drinkin' down her sorrows
'Cause they took away her man

[Verse 4]
Don't you hear them bluebirds a-singin'?
Don't you hear that mournful sound?
Don't you hear them bluebirds a-singin'?
My true love, she lies under the ground

[Verse 5]
I ain't gonna work tomorrow
I ain't a-gonna work next day
I'll stay at home in sorrow
If it is Christmas day
