Cat. #0961 (MFH #126) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on February 9, 1970
CHORUS:
Co-reen, Co-reena, where ya been so long
Co-reen, Co-reena, where ya been so long
Not havin' no lovin'
Since you've been gone
VERSE 1
I met Coreen, far across th sea
I met Coreen, far across th sea
Didn't write to me no letters
Didn't care for me
VERSE 2
Co-reen, Co-reen, where ya stay last night
Co-reen, Co-reen, where ya stay last night
Your hair's all tangled
An' your clothes don't fit you right
VERSE 3
Co-reen, Co-reen, come back to me
Co-reen, Co-reen, come back to me
Darlin', I love you forever
An' happy we'll be
VERSE 4
I love Coreena, tell th world I do
I love Coreena, tell th world I do
Little more lovin'
Let your heart be true
VERSE 5
Goodbye, Co-reen, fare-you-well
Goodbye, Co-reen, fare-you-well
When I ever come back
You never can tell
