High Cumberland Jubilee / Comin' Down Slow

(album: High Cumberland Jubilee - 1971)

[Coming Down Slow]

Maybe leaving's better in the afternoon
When the rain don't fall so hard
From where we were we had to look down far below
To see just what went on in our own backyard

Coming down slow without a thing to show
Wondering what went on while we were up there
Mountain roads now asphalt highways
That we once called heaven's skyways
Children lost, what is the cost to get back home again?

La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la

[High Cumberland Jubilee]

It was a high Cumberland jubilee
Such a high Cumberland jubilee
It was a high Cumberland jubilee
Such a high Cumberland jubilee
It was a high Cumberland jubilee
Such a high Cumberland jubilee

I'm going to climb up in the mountain
I'm going to climb up in the tree
I'm going to climb up in the mountain
I'm going to see what I can see
You know...

It was a high Cumberland jubilee
Such a high Cumberland jubilee
It was a high Cumberland jubilee
Such a high Cumberland jubilee
It was a high Cumberland jubilee
Such a high Cumberland jubilee
