North Cumberland Blues

North Cumberland Blues - Jerry Jeff Walker

Throwing rods down from North Cumberland

Left my gal that I love way back there

But I'll be back some old day yes I will

I'll be back some old day

How 'bout another round

Went to Texas to build me up a home

Told my gal I was going to make it there

On my own

But I'll be back some old day yes I will

I'll be back some old day

Let's have another round

California next I went on a freight

Figured here boys I would finally have it made

But I'll be back some old day

Yes I will

I'll be back some old day

Fast fine women living high got my bread

Expensive wine I lost my time I lost my head

But I'll be back some old day

Yes I will

I'll be back some old day

Let's have another round

Got a letter up in Portland Oregon and it read

After 6 years jeff we're finally wed

But I'll be back some old day

Yes I will

I'll be back some old day

Let's have another round

With my gal gone I guess I'll ramble on

Looking for whatever it is that I want

But I'll be back some old day

Yes I will

I'll be back some old day

Let's have another round
