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

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
