The winds through the night blowin so lonesome

Singin to me a song

The whippoorwill call is just a reminder

Pretty girls have hearts made of stone

Chorus:

Awake with the blues at dawn

My darlin Cory is gone

I don’t know why she told me goodbye

But my darlin Cory is gone

The ring that she wears I bought for her finger

Purchased a diamond so fine

I gave her my last green back dollar

And now she’s left me behind

Chorus:

Awake with the blues…

Driftin along like brush on a river

Carin not where I roam

I’m goin to live in the deep forest

Dark hollow will be my new home

Chorus:

Awake with the blues…

break

chorus…end
