Folk & Traditional Song Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk Cora is Gone 
Cora is Gone 
Wind through the night blowing so lonesome Singing to me her song; The old whippoorwill whispers this warning Pretty girls have hearts made of stone. 
cho: I awake 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. 
I bought her a ring to wear on her finger Purchased her raiment so fine, Gave her my last green-back dollar And now she has left me behind. 
Drifting along like brush on a river Caring not where I may roam, Going to live in the deep forest Dark hollows will be my new home.
