[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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?"
[Chorus]
Gotta get down to thе Cumberland mine
Gotta get down to thе Cumberland mine
That's where I mainly spend my time
Make good money, five dollars a day
Made anymore, I might move away
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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?"
[Chorus]
Gotta get down to thе Cumberland mine
Gotta get down to thе Cumberland mine
That's where I mainly spend my time
Make good money, five dollars a day
Made anymore, I might move away
