grateful dead - cumberland blues lyrics
i cant stay much longer, melinda, the sun is getting high.
i cant help you with your troubles, if you wont 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 cant 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 cant work there no more.
a lotta poor man make a five dollar bill, keep him happy all the time.
some other fellas makin nothin 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.
thats 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 cant win for losin
lotta poor man got to walk the line just to pay his union dues.
i dont know now, i just dont know if im goin back again.
