Cumberland Blues (Live at the Spectrum, Philadelphia, PA, September 21, 1972) - Grateful Dead (感恩而死)

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

Oooohh

A lotta poor man make a five dollar bill

Keep him happy all the time

Some other fella's making nothing 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 losing

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 going back again

I don't know now I just don't know

If I'm going back again

I don't know now I just don't know

If I'm going back again
