"Cora Is Gone" lyrics - HERB PEDERSEN

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
My darling Cora is gone
I don't know why she told me goodbye
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
My darling Cora is gone
I don't know why she told me goodbye
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
My darling Cora is gone
I don't know why she told me goodbye
But my darling Cora is gone my darling Cora is gone
