I can't stay much longer, buddy
The sun is getting high
I can't help you with your trouble
If you won't help with mine
I gotta get down, I gotta get down
Gotta get down to the mine
ย
Will 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
Lotta poor man making five dollar bills
Keep 'em happy all the time
Some other fella's making nothing 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 in 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
(Make good money, five dollars a day)
Me and my boy, we're halfway
ย
A lot of poor man got to comin' along
He can't win for losin'
A lot of poor man got to walk the line
It just amaze the youngin' girl
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
