lyrics

Hey, sweet li’l Cora-Mae
You’d be in my spell if I could sing that well
Hey good ole Cora-Mae
You’re no good to me gone

I can’t find the old groove since you left me
I stumble round as if in a dream
Stare at the morning paper and I wonder what the strange words mean

A week, a month, and no break from the heartbreak
So I got my Mama on the phone
She said all you’d ever done for me was poison my heart
But we all know that Mama was against you from the start

Hey, sweet li’l Cora-Mae
If there was a way, I’d sure use the way
Hey good ole Cora-Mae
You’re no good to me gone

Ooooooh
Ooooooh

Now it’s true I snuck a few looks at your sister
The day she wore that halter-top and thong
But what law says just for looking, a man should have to suffer this long?

And if I once believed I loved you only
I believe that twice as much now
And if you miss me just a little, well, imagine how I feel
‘Cause when we’re split in two I get the worse end of the deal

Hey, sweet li’l Cora-Mae
You’ve made your point know, now it’s time you came home
Hey good ole Cora-Mae
All you ever seem to do hurts me and not you

Hey, sweet li’l Cora-Mae
Back when we shared a bed, girl you wrapped around my head
Just like the sweetest song
But you’re no good to me gone
