Songtexte Cumberland Blues - Live at Convention Hall, San Diego, CA, August 7, 1971 - Grateful Dead
I can′t stay much longer, Melinda
The sun is getting high
I can't help you with your troubles
If you won′t help with mine
I gotta get down, I gotta get down
Gotta get down to mine
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
A lotta poor man make a five dollar bill
Keep 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
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
