Corinna (Lomax's Sp.)

CORINNA

Corinna, Corinna, where'd you stay last night?
Tell me Corinna where'd you stay last night?
Your shoes ain't buttoned, girl, don't fit you right.

Corinna, Corinna, where you been so long?(2x)
Ain't had no loving since you been gone.

Corinna, Corinna, what's the matter now?(2x)
You done bad, babe, ain't no good no how.

Corinna, Corinna, way across the sea,(2x)
Ain't done no good, babe, since you left me.

I love Corinna, God knows I do,(2x)
And I hope some day, she come to love me too.
