Paroles de Cumberland River
I left old Kentucky in a blindin' fogHeaded for the southland
haulin' cedar logs
Along around Celina
I saw the sky turn blue
Headed for the southland
with a six men crew
[Chorus]
Cumberland River carry me
on down the line to sunny Tennessee
Shirley Mae's awaitin' lonely as can be
Cumberland River let me feel that southern breeze
Two days on the river
the weather it got rough
Headed for the south bank
we hit a big rock bluff
Workin' like the devil
to turn this boat around
Two miles south of Carthage
We made it safe and sound
[Chorus]
Two more days of travel and a sack of flour
Fifteen dollars waitin'
seven cents an hour
[Chorus: x 2]
Cumberland River let me feel that southern breeze
[Chorus]
Cumberland River carry me
on down the line to sunny Tennessee
Shirley Mae's awaitin' lonely as can be
Cumberland River let me feel that southern breeze
Two days on the river
the weather it got rough
Headed for the south bank
we hit a big rock bluff
Workin' like the devil
to turn this boat around
Two miles south of Carthage
We made it safe and sound
[Chorus]
Two more days of travel and a sack of flour
Fifteen dollars waitin'
seven cents an hour
[Chorus: x 2]
Cumberland River let me feel that southern breeze
