Bluegrass Songs - Cora is gone

Cora is gone

The winds through the night is blowing so lonesome
Singing to me a song
A whippoowill 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 raiments so fine
Gave her my last green back dollar
And now she's left me behind

  * Refrain

Drifting alone like brush on a river
Caring not where I roam
Going to live in the deep forest
Dark hollow will be my new home

  * Refrain
