Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Sweet Corrinna ('Corrina' / 'Corinna')
Here's my transcription of the Ashley & Abernathy version at Honkingduck. (See Masato's link above.) I notice it is a lot like the Merle Haggard version here.

CORRINA, CORRINA

I left Corrina far across the sea. (2x)
Wouldn't write me no letter, don't care for me.

CHORUS: I love Corrina. Tell the world I do. (2x)
A little more loving, let your heart beat true.

Corrine, Corrina, what's the matter now? (2x)
Don't write me no letter, don't love me nohow. CHORUS.

Corrine, Corrina, where'd you stay last night? (2x)
Come in this morning, sun a-shining bright. CHORUS

Corrine, Corrina, it's fare you well. (2x)
I may be back here, can't never tell. CHORUS.
