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 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
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
