a tender little blues with a touch of jazz and a flavour of hillbilly, this folk song of the 1920's has been so often resung by whites and Negroes in the South that it is now impossible to say on which side of the Jim Crow line it was born ... also occurs as Alberta or Roberta [The Folk Songs of North America by Alan Lomax]

Version in Lomax, Alan: The Folk Songs of North America...
(from oral Negro sources in the 30's)
Corinna, Corinna, where'd you stay last night?
Corinna, Corinna, where'd you stay last night?
Your shoes ain't buttoned, girl, don't fit you right.

Corinna, Corinna where you been so long?
Corinna Corinna where you been so long?
Ain't had no lovin' since you been gone.
Corinna Corinna, what's the matter now? Corinna, Corinna what's the matter now? You done gone bad, babe, ain't no good nohow. Corinna Corinna, way cross the sea. Corinna, Corinna, way cross the sea. ain't done no good, babe, since you left me.
I love Corinna, God knows I do, I love Corinna, God knows I do, and I hope some day, she come to love me, too.

... keep on living ...
