Corrina [core]

I love Corrina, tell the world I do, I love Corrina, tell the world I do
Just a little more lovin', let your heart be true

Corrina, Corrina, where'd you stay last night,... (x2)
Come in this morning, sun was shinin' bright

Corrina, Corrina, where you been so long,... (x2)
Ain't had no lovin', since you been gone

Corrina, Corrina, far across the sea,... (x2)
Don't write me no letters, don't care about me

If you don't love me, why don't you tell me so,... (x2)
A man ain't nothin', without no place to go

Got a bird to whistle, got a bird to sing,... (x2)
If I ain't got Corina, life don't mean a thing
