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 'til eight, you kept me up 'til four.
I gotta get down, I gotta get down, or I can't work there no more.

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, 
C                             D
"Can I go buddy, can I go down, take your shift at the mine?" 
C
Gotta get down to the Cumberland mine

That's where I mainly spend my time.

Make good money, five dollars a day,

Made any more I might move away.

Lotta poor man got the Cumberland blues, 
                 C
He can't win for losin', 
C                      G             A                     D
Lotta poor man got to walk the line just to pay his union dues, 
C                D                  C             Am7      G
I don't know now, I just don't know, if I'm goin' back again.
