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
A lot of 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
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

Sugar magnolia, blossoms blooming
Heads all empty and
I don't care
Saw my baby down by the river
Knew shed have to come up soon for air
Sweet blossom ...
Dizzy with eternity.
Paint it with a skin of sky, brush in some clouds and sea
Call it home for you and me.
A closer look reveals the human race.
But ...
Look for awhile at the China Cat Sunflower
proud walking jingle in the midnight sun
like a crazy quilt stargown

Well the first days are the hardest days,
Don't you worry any more,
'Cause when life looks like easy street,
there is danger at your door.
Think this ...
I wanna tell you how it's gonna be, you're gonna give your love to me,
I wanna love you night and day, you know my love not fade away.
You know my lov...
