Cumberland Blues(Live at Austin Municipal Auditorium, Austin, TX, 11/15/71) - Grateful Dead

作词：Jerry Garcia/Phil Lesh/Robert Hunter

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

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
