Lyrics

Wake up, wake up little Cory
 What makes you sleep so sound?
 When the marshals are a 'comin
 Gonna tear your steel house down
 Go 'way, go 'way little Cory
 Quit your hangin' around my bed
 Bad liquor has ruined my body
 Pretty women has gone to my head
 The last time I seen little Cory
 She was standing with a bottle in her hand
 A drinkin' down her sorrow
 Cause they took away her man
 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
 I ain't gonna work tommorow
 I ain't gonna work next day
 I'll stay at home in sorrow
 If it is Christmas day
 Wake up, wake up little Cory
 What makes you sleep so sound?
 When the marshals are a 'comin
 Gonna tear your steel house down
