Lyrics
Give me cornbread when I'm hungry
Corn whiskey when I'm dry
Pretty women all around me while I'm living
God and his angels when I die
If I had listened to my mama
I would not be here today
Drinking down and gambling
And wasting my whole life away
Once I had plenty of money
And friends in this world all around
Now my pocketbook is empty
Not a friend in this world can be found
At the bottom of the bottle
The lurking demons dwell
They waste away your body
And send your soul to hell
Dig 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
To watch this old rounder go down
Give me cornbread when I'm hungry
Corn whiskey when I'm dry
Pretty women all around me while I'm living
And God and his angels when I die
Corn whiskey when I'm dry
Pretty women all around me while I'm living
God and his angels when I die
If I had listened to my mama
I would not be here today
Drinking down and gambling
And wasting my whole life away
Once I had plenty of money
And friends in this world all around
Now my pocketbook is empty
Not a friend in this world can be found
At the bottom of the bottle
The lurking demons dwell
They waste away your body
And send your soul to hell
Dig 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
To watch this old rounder go down
Give me cornbread when I'm hungry
Corn whiskey when I'm dry
Pretty women all around me while I'm living
And God and his angels when I die
