Well, the first time I seen darling Corey..

Had a .44 strapped around her body..
      A           G            A
and a five-string banjo on her knee.

Dig a hole, dig a hole, in the meadow.
                  G         A
Dig a hole in the cold damp ground.

Dig a hole, dig a hole, in the meadow..

Can't you hear them bluebirds a-singing?
                    G        A
Don't you hear that mournful sound?
A                                 G
They're preaching darling Corey's funeral..
        A        G         A
in some lonesome graveyard ground.
