Kingston Trio version is in Bb. But it's easier to play and sing in C, so that's what I've chorded.
The authentic version is Bb, Ab, F7.
Rick in Macon
There's a Cpine log shack in the mountains. That's where my Corey dwells
She makes the finest mash Bbliquor. What she Cdoesn't G7drink she Csells
Well, the Cfirst time I seen darlin' Corey she was weavin' through the woods
With a kerosene lantern on her Bbshoulder and a Csatchel G7full of Cgoods.
Please Cdo drop down next Monday. Please bring me a jug or five.
When the sun comes up on BbTuesday don't Cfigure to G7be aClive.
Don't Ccare if you are livin'. Don't care if you are dead.
If you're gonna drink my Bbproduct then I'm Cgonna G7take your Cbread.
Well, the Clast time I seen darlin' Corey, she was wanderin' through the weeds
With a Cgovernment man beBbhind her. Gonna Cgrab her G7for her Cdeeds.
