Baby don't ya cry 'cause momma's coming home
|
Poppa goin' bring you back some chitlins and some corn
|
Last frost done took its loss right down to the bone
|
We're lucky we still got room to roam
|
|
Goin' there to here is almost at a halt
|
Don't you go off blaming God, you know it ain't his fault
|
One time when life was fine someone found the wine
|
Cumberland Mountain Number Nine
|
|
That still was the best damn still they ever did make
|
Wouldn't stand for nothing less, stand for no mistake
|
Last Fall we made a haul and filled the limestone mine
|
Cumberland Mountain Number Nine
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Winter come a change
|
Spring bring the rain
|
We weren't meant to stay the same
|
One thing for sure
|
We done found the cure,
|
Cumberland Mountain Number Nine
|
|
Black coal from the strip mine way up north at Jellico
|
Kept the brew running smooth along the Thunder Road
|
Way back down in Bear Tree Gap the devil's juice flowed fine
|
Cumberland Mountain Number Nine
|
|
The FB- and the TV- I had followed us for years
|
Eventually they got the scent and nabbed us by the hair
|
Man said son I'll blow up everything between your ears
|
You got to face bout 20 years.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Winter come a change
|
Spring bring the rain
|
We weren't meant to stay the same
|
And now from this cell
|
I've a story to tell....
|
Cumberland Mountain Number Nine
