Align:    
  • I cant stay much longer, melinda, the sun is getting high.
  • I cant help you with your troubles, if you wont 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 cant 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 cant work there no more.
  • A lotta poor man make a five dollar bill, keep him happy all the time.
  • Some other fellas 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.
  • Thats 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 cant win for losin
  • Lotta poor man got to walk the line just to pay his union dues.
  • I dont know now, I just dont know if Im goin back again.
