charles bradley & menahan street band - cumberland blues lyrics
[verse]
i can’t stay much longer, melinda, the sun is getting high
i can’t help you with your troubles, if you won’t help with mine
i gotta get down, i gotta get down, i gotta get down to the mine
you keep me up just one more night, i can’t sleep here no more
little ben clock says quarter to eight; you kept me up ’till four
i gotta get down, i gotta get down, or i can’t work there no more
a lot of poor man make a five dollar bill, keep him happy all the time
some other fella’s making nothing at all and you can hear him cry
“can i go, buddy, can i go down take your shift at the mine?”
gotta get down to the c-mberland mine
gotta get down to the c-mberland mine
that’s where i mainly spend my time
make good money, five dollars a day
made anymore, i might move away
lotta poor man got the c-mberland 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 going back again
