Cumberland Blues

I can't stay much longer

The sun is getting higher

I can't help you with your problems

If you won't help me with mine

Gotta get down, gotta get down

To the mine

Oh, mine

Keep me up just one more night

I can't sleep no more (I can't sleep no more)

Little Ben says it's a quarter to 8

You keep me up till 4

Gotta get down, wanna get down

Oh

In the mine

I got to get down

(Gotta get down to the Cumberland mine) Uh-huh

(That's where I mainly spend my time) Oh

(Make good money, five dollars a day) Uh-huh, yeah

(Made anymore, I might move away)

Wait a minute

(I can't stay much longer) I gotta go

(The sun is getting higher) Baby

Uh

(I can't stay much longer)

(The sun is getting higher) Gotta get out of here

(I can't stay much longer)
