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
