Cumberland Blues
I can't stay here much longer, Melinda
The sun is getting higher
I can't help you with your troubles
If you won't help with mine
gotta get down
gotta get down
to the mine
Keep me up just one more night
I can't sleep no more
Little Ben clock says quarter to eight
You kept me up till four
gotta get down
wanna get down
Aye, Aye, Aye, Aye
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Gotta get down to the Cumberland mine
That's where I mainly spend my time
Make good money, five dollars a day
If I made any more I might move away
WAIT A MINUTE!
Lotta poor man got the Cumberland Blues
He can't win for losing
Lotta poor man got to walk the line
Just to pay his union dues
I don't know now, I just don't know
If I'm coming back again
I don't know now, I just don't know
If I'm coming back again
The sun is getting higher
I can't help you with your troubles
If you won't help with mine
gotta get down
gotta get down
to the mine
Keep me up just one more night
I can't sleep no more
Little Ben clock says quarter to eight
You kept me up till four
gotta get down
wanna get down
Aye, Aye, Aye, Aye
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Gotta get down to the Cumberland mine
That's where I mainly spend my time
Make good money, five dollars a day
If I made any more I might move away
WAIT A MINUTE!
Lotta poor man got the Cumberland Blues
He can't win for losing
Lotta poor man got to walk the line
Just to pay his union dues
I don't know now, I just don't know
If I'm coming back again
I don't know now, I just don't know
If I'm coming back again
