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
i gotta get down
to the 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.
