Standard (EADGBE)
The winds through the night is blowing so lonesome
Singing to me a song
A whippoowill call is just a reminder
Pretty girls have hearts made of stone
I'll wake with the blues at dawn
[G/f#]
My darling Cora is gone
I don't know why she told me goodbye
[G/f#]
But my darling Cora is gone my darling Cora is gone
The ring that she wears I bought for her finger
Purchased her ring so fine
Gave her my last green back dollar
And now she's left me behind
I'll wake with the blues at dawn
[G/f#]
My darling Cora is gone
I don't know why she told me goodbye
[G/f#]
But my darling Cora is gone my darling Cora is gone
Drifting alone like brush on a river
Caring not where I roam
Going to live in the deep forest
Dark hollow will be my new home
I'll wake with the blues at dawn
[G/f#]
My darling Cora is gone
I don't know why she told me goodbye
[G/f#]
But my darling Cora is gone my darling Cora is gone
