Wind through the night, blowin' so lonesome Singin' to me a song The whippoorwill's call is just a reminder Pretty girls have hearts made of stone I'll wake with the blues at dawn My darlin' Corrie is gone I don't know why she told me goodbye When my darlin' Corrie is gone Volker, the ring she wears on her finger Purchased her raiment so fine Gave her my last green-backed dog And now she's left me behind I'll wake with the blues at dawn My darlin' Corrie is gone I don't know why she told me goodbye When my darlin' Corrie is gone Driftin' along like brush on the river Errant not where I roam Goin' to live in the deep forest Dark hollow will be my new home I'll wake with the blues at dawn My darlin' Corrie is gone I don't know why she told me goodbye When my darlin' Corrie is gone
