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
