Very interesting website and history, Stewie.

Here are some of the lyrics I've gleaned (with chords).

SWEET CORRINA

              G                    C            D            G       G7
There's a weepin' willow    and a mourning dove
                C                  D                           G
There's a weepin' willow     and a mourning dove
D                      C              D      G   (C)  (G)
  Sweet Corrina,   she's the gal I love.

Went down to the river,  sat down on a log.
Went down to the river, sat down on a log.
If I can't be your sweet baby,  I'll be your salty dog.

'Cause, I'll chop your wood, baby, I'll even tend your fire
I'll chop your wood, baby, I'll even tend your fire
I'll tote your whiskey  all the way from the Fresno line.

Got no little flower.  The frost has killed the vine.
Got no little flower.  The frost has killed the vine.
The blues ain't nothin'-- Corrina's on my mind

'Cause Sweet Corrina,  she's the gal I love.
'Cause Sweet Corrina, she's the gal I love.
 Take me to heaven, child, tough the stars above.

I got a bird that whistles,  I got a bird that sings.
I got a bird that whistles, I got a bird that sings.
Without your sweet love,  don't mean a dog-gone thing.
