Josh Ritter - Cumberland lyrics

[Josh Ritter - Cumberland lyrics]

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

(Oh boy)
Gotta get yourself back to the country now
Country now (Oh boy)
Gotta get yourself back to the country now

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

(Oh boy)
Gotta get yourself back to the country now
Country now (Oh boy)
Gotta get yourself back to the country now

If you get there before I do
Tell everybody I'm a'coming too

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

(Oh boy)
Gotta get yourself back to the country now
Country now (Oh boy)
Gotta get yourself back to the country now

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

(Oh boy)
Get yourself back to the country now
Country now (Oh boy)
Gotta get yourself back to the country now

(Oh boy)
Gotta get yourself back to the country now
To the country now (Oh boy)
Gotta get yourself back to the country now
