Cumberland Rose • PDF
Words and Music by Joe LaMay
Here comes my darlin'
Away down the road
Over the mountains
Where the piney wood grows
She's leavin' her papa
Leavin' her home
Today I will marry
My Cumberland Rose
Ma's in the kitchen
Pa's in the lane
Preacher's in the parlor
With his black walkin' cane
Sun's the heavens
The wild river flows
I'm in the holler
Waiting for Rose
Chorus
When the moon is arisin'
Over the hills
Folks will be gatherin'
Round the old copper still
They'll break out the fiddles
And the old banjos
Tonight there'll be dancin'
For me and my Rose
Chorus
