Cumberland

[Verse 1]

All of my friends said "What's out in Cumberland?"

"Gonna get lonesome when you get out to Cumberland"

"Stay in the city, boy, winter is a wonderland"

They all mean well

I will remember them

[Chorus]

(Oh boy)

Gotta get yourself back to the country now, country now

(Oh boy)

Gotta get yourself back to the country now

[Verse 2]

Wander through the holler, honey

Wander through the glen

Neighborly with fiddleheads, copperheads, and moccasins

Build a little cabin, honey, throw a window in

Watch the breeze blowin' through the hickories and dandellins

[Chorus]

(Oh boy)

Gotta get yourself back to the country now, country now

(Oh boy)

Gotta get yourself back to the country now

[Bridge]

If you get there before I do

Tell everybody I'm a'coming too

[Verse 3]

I know a pretty girl

She's  the prettiest there's ever been

Wild as a weed, sweeter than a mandolin

I ain't a handsome man but I bet she'd take me as I am

I haven't met her yet

Bet she lives in Cumberland

[Chorus]

(Oh boy)

Gotta get yourself back to the country now, country now

(Oh boy)

Gotta get yourself back to the country now

[Verse 4]

So before you start talkin' 'bout the wonders of the world again

The Taj Mahal, the Great Wall, the places that I never been

Take a little drive, take a little trip to Heaven and

Wonder for a while if it's Paradise or Cumberland

[Chorus]

(Oh boy)

Get yourself back to the country now, country now

(Oh boy)

Gotta get yourself back to the country now

[Chorus]

(Oh boy)

Gotta get yourself back to the country now, to the country now

(Oh boy)

Gotta get yourself back to the country now
