GUEST,Vintage Martin Lyr Req: Sweet Corrinna ('Corrina' / 'Corinna') (12) Lyr Req: Sweet Corrinna ('Corrina' / 'Corinna') 11 Oct 02


There are some versions of "Corinna" or "Corrinna" here in the forum and DT, but not the version I have in mind.  Here are verses and portions of verses that I know.  Anyone know the rest of these verses or additional verses.  (The version I'm most familiar with is, I'm told, the version done by Taj Mahal .)

Also, Bob Dylan had a version of "Corrinna" on "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" and the liner notes credited him with the "words and music."  But I thought the song was older than he.  Anyone know how far back this song goes?

Sweet Corrinna

There's a weepin' willow and a mourning dove. (x2)
Sweet Corrinna, she's the gal I love.

I got no little flower.  The frost has killed the vine. (x2)
I'll tote your whiskey all the way to the Fresno line.

Well, I'll chop your wood, baby, I'll even tend your fire. (x2)
...?

I got a bird that whistles, I got a bird that sings. (x2)
Without your love, baby, it don't mean a natural thing.

If I can't be your sweet baby, I'll be your salty dog.

'Cause Sweet Corrinna, she's the gal I love.
