Slumberin' On The Cumberland

(album: Slumberin' On The Cumberland - 1979)

On the rock bluffs is high enough
Down below lock number two
Hanging trot lines out the window
I'm making love to you

Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling
Oh my darling, oh my darling, sweet Marie
We'll be slumbering we'll be slumbering on the cumberland
Down in Nashville, down in Nashville Tennessee

Bringing fire wood up the river banks
When the water is way down low
Build a fire a little higher
You come here and warm your toes

Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling
Oh my darling, oh my darling, sweet Marie
We'll be slumbering we'll be slumbering on the cumberland
Down in Nashville, down in Nashville Tennessee

When the morrow in the morning
There's nothing much to see
We'll be slumbering on the cumberland
Marie, just you and me

Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling
Oh my darling, oh my darling, sweet Marie
We'll be slumbering we'll be slumbering on the cumberland
Down in Nashville, down in Nashville Tennessee
