Lyrics
The lyrics of the version performed by the Dead on 11/20/70 are barely audible, only a verse and chorus are sung.
The version performed by Garcia, Hunter and Leicester in 1961 is clearer, the lyrics are; Wake up, wake up, darling Corey What makes you sleep so sound The revenue officers are coming Gonna tear your still house downDig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow Gonna lay darling Corey down Wake up, wake up, darling Corey Quit hanging around my bed Bad liquor has ruined my body Pretty women gone to my head Wake up, wake up, darling Corey What makes you sleep so sound The revenue officers are coming Gonna tear your still house down
