I can't stay much longer, Melinda, the sun is gettin' 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
ย
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
ย
A lotta poor man make a five dollar bill, keeps him happy all the time
Some other fella's 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 Cumberland Mine
(Gotta get down to the Cumberland Mine)
That's where I mainly spend my time
Make good money, five dollars a day
Made anymore, I might move away
ย
Lotta poor man got the Cumberland Blues, he can't win for losin'
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 goin' back again
I don't know now, I just don't know if I'm goin' back again
I don't know now, I just don't know if I'm goin' back again
