Текст (слова) песни: Grateful 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.
