Cumberland Blues (Live At Oregon State University 1970) Lyrics
Cumberland Blues (Live At Oregon State University 1970) by Grateful Dead
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 'til 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
