Dig a Hole Lyrics

Dig a hole
Traditional
As sung by John Hartford
Steam Powered Aero-Takes
Banjo tuned E: Capo 3, Key of: D
Refrain:
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
We're going to lay darling Corey down
Well, now the first time I seen darling Corey
She was a standing on the banks of the sea
A 45 Pistol on her forearm
And a banjo on her knee
* Refrain
Wake up, wake up, darling Corey
What makes you sleep so sound?
Them darn coal officers a coming
Their going to tear your playhouse down
* Refrain
