Grateful Dead - Cumberland blues

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 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.
