Baby, don't you cry 'cause mama's coming home
Papa gonna bring you back some chitins and some corn
Last frost done took its loss right down to the bone
We're lucky we still got room to roam
Going there to here is almost at a halt
Don't you go off blaming God, you know it ain't his fault
One time when life was fine someone found the wine
Cumberland Mountain number nine
That still was the best damn still they ever did make
Wouldn't stand for nothin' less, stand for no mistake
Last fall we made a haul and filled a limestone mine
Cumberland Mountain number nine
ย
Winter come and change, spring bring rain
We weren't meant to stay the same
One thing's for sure, we done found the cure
Cumberland Mountain number nine
ย
Black coal from the strip mine wells north at Jellico
Kept the brew running smooth along the thunder road
Way back down in Pear Tree Gap the devil's juice flowed fine
Cumberland Mountain number nine
The FB and the TBI had followed us for years
Eventually they got the scent and nabbed us by the hairs
The man said, "Son, I'll blow up everything between your ears
You got to face 'bout twenty years"
ย
Winter come and change, spring bring rain
We weren't meant to stay the same
And now from this cell I've a story to tell
Cumberland Mountain number nine
Cumberland Mountain number nine
