Cumberland Blues [Live at Convention Hall, San Diego, CA, August 7, 1971]

 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 making nothing 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

Is came here bouth ow you see
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 going back again
I don't know now I just don't know
If I'm going back again
I don't know now I just don't know
If I'm going back again
