The first known recording of it was by Clarence Gill as &#8220;Little Corey&#8221; on 6 January 1927, but it was rejected by the record company and never released.[1] A few months later, folk singer Buell Kazee recorded it as &#8220;Darling Cora&#8221; on 20 April 1927 (Brunswick 154).[2] Later the same year, it was recorded by B. F. Shelton as &#8220;Darlin&#8217; Cora&#8221; on 29 July 1927 (Victor 35838) [3] . Other early recordings are &#8220;Little Lulie&#8221; by Dick Justice (1929) and &#8220;Darling Corey&#8221; (released as a single) by the Monroe Brothers in 1936.[4] Burl Ives recorded it on 28 May 1941[5] for his debut album Okeh Presents the Wayfaring Stranger. Since then, many artists have recorded it: Roscoe Holcomb, Doc Watson, Bruce Hornsby, The Weavers, Crooked Still, Bill Monroe,[6] Harry Belafonte (as &#8220;Darlin&#8217; Cora,&#8221; attributed to Fred Brooks),[7], Pete Seeger, and Kingston Trio (on their album At Large, 1959).\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"lyrics-header\">Lyrics:<\/div>\n<div class=\"lyrics\">\n<p>Wake [D] up, wake up darling Corey<br \/>\nWhat makes you [A] sleep so sound<br \/>\nThe [D] revenue officers are coming<br \/>\nThey&#8217;re gonna tear you [A] still-house [D] down <\/p>\n<p>Well the first time I seen darling Corey<br \/>\nShe was sitting by the banks of the sea<br \/>\nHad a forty-four around her body<br \/>\nAnd a five-string on her knee.<\/p>\n<p>Go away go away darling Corey<br \/>\nQuit hanging around my bed<br \/>\nYour liquor has ruined my body<br \/>\nPretty women gone to my head.<\/p>\n<p>Dig a hole dig a hole in the meadow<br \/>\nDig a hole in the cold damp ground<br \/>\nDig a hole dig a hole in the meadow<br \/>\nWe&#8217;re gonna lay darling Corey down.<\/p>\n<p>Can&#8217;t you hear them bluebirds a-singing<br \/>\nDon&#8217;t you hear that mournful sound<br \/>\nThey&#8217;re preaching darling Corey&#8217;s funeral<br \/>\nIn some lonesome graveyard ground.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script src=\"http:\/\/digg.com\/tools\/diggthis.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do I download this Mp3?
