Cora Is Gone lyrics

The wind 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



I`ll wake with the blues at dawn

My darling Cora is gone

I don`t know why she told me goodbye

But my darling Cora is gone



The ring that she wears I bought for her finger

Purchased her raiment so fine

Gave her my last green back dollar

And now she`s left me behind



Drifting along like a brush on a river

Caring not where I roam

Going to live in a deep forest

Dark hollow will be my new home
