Coralee

Now here's a story that is sad but true
About the sweetest girl I ever knew
She was as true as she could be, Coralee
She worked her fingers to the bone, I know
She said she did 'cause she loved me so
Oh how I wish that I could see, Coralee

I was young and foolish and wanted to be free
Cora, I'm beginning to know how much you mean to me

If I could hold you in my arms, I know
I promise you I would never let you go
Oh won't you please come back to me, Coralee

Cora, if I ever wronged you, listen to my plea child
Cora, I've paid for my crime so please come back to me

If I could hold you in my arms, I know
I promise you I would never let you go
Oh won't you please come back to me, Coralee
