North Cumberland Blues - Jerry Jeff Walker

Throwing rods down from North Cumberland

Left my gal that I love way back there

But I’ll be back some old day yes I will

I’ll be back some old day

How bout another round

Went to Texas to build me up a home

Told my gal I was going to make it there on my own

But I’ll be back some old day yes I will

I’ll be back some old day

Let’s have another round

California next, I went on a freight

Figured here boys I would finally have it made

But I’ll be back some old day…

Fast fine women living high got my bread

Expensive wine, I lost my time, I lost my head

But I’ll be back some old day…

Got a letter up in Portland, Oregon and it read

After 6 years, Jeff we’re finally wed

But I’ll be back some old day…

With my gal gone, I guess I’ll ramble on

Looking for whatever it is that I want

But I’ll be back some old day…
