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
