Grateful Dead Workingman's Dead Cumberland Blues 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. |
