Old Crow Medicine Show - O Cumberland River Lyrics
Built a little shanty by the Cumberland RiverBut the rainstorm started and the water did riseWildcat winds and ten foot rollers lordyBless my soul, it was a hell of a rideEyes popped open I was laying on the levyLord I ain't got to heaven but I feel alrightSmallmouth jumping I'm rolling up somethingGonna throw a little high water party tonightO Cumberland RiverFlowing through the heart of a guitar townO Cumberland RiverCan't you hear me singing your songCan't you hear me singing your songJohn boat plowing up the deep green waterLooky yonder comes Jimmy with the Sly Rye beerFive string floating in the Tennessee sunAlways sounds a little muddy when we pick it down hereShe runs wild, fast and freeBorn in the mountains up in KentuckyHeading for the falls of the OhioAsking me darling, don't you wanna go?O Cumberland RiverFlowing through the heart of a guitar townO Cumberland RiverCan't you hear me singing your songCan't you hear me singing your songBonfire burning on the banks of the riverAll the girls come running when they smell the fish fryBarefoot dancing when we dip into the waterI'll be loving this river 'til the day I dieLocks and dams weren't made to lastThere's nothing we can build to ever hold her backShe can't be held by the hands of manThe Cumberland River is gonna rise againO Cumberland RiverFlowing through the heart of a guitar townO Cumberland RiverCan't you hear me singing your songCan't you hear me singing your song
