Lyrics
The wind through the night is blowing so lonesome

Singing to me a song

A whippoorwill 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 raiment so fine

Gave her my last green back dollar

And now she's left me behind



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



Drifting along like a brush on a river

Caring not where I roam

Going to live in a deep forest

Dark hollow will be my new home



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
