Lyrics Cumberland Blues (Live at Ohio Theatre, Columbus OH - 10/31/71) - 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
