The Lounge Labor Day musical tribute to the Working Life....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-LKpxS6p_4


I cant stay much longer, melinda, the sun is getting high.
I cant help you with your troubles, if you wont help with mine.
I gotta get down, I gotta get down, I gotta get down to the mine.

You keep me up just one more night, I cant sleep here no more.
Little ben clock says quarter to eight; you kept me up till four.
I gotta get down, I gotta get down, or I cant work there no more.

A lotta poor man make a five dollar bill, keep him happy all the time.
Some other fellas makin nothin at all and you can hear him cry,
Can I go, buddy, can I go down take your shift at the mine?

Gotta get down to the cumberland mine.
Gotta get down to the cumberland mine.
Thats where I mainly spend my time.
Make good money, five dollars a day. made anymore, I might move away.

Lotta poor man got the cumberland blues he cant win for losin
Lotta poor man got to walk the line just to pay his union dues.
I dont know now, I just dont know if Im goin back again.

5. Big Boss Man sung by Pig Pen
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZFM5A-CPM4

Big Boss Man
Can't you hear me when I talk
Big Boss Man
Can't you hear me when I call
You aint so big
you just tall that's just about all

boss man got me a workin boss man
workin around the clock
want a little drink of whiskey
you sure wont let me stop
big boss man
can't you hear me when I talk
you aint so big,
you just tall that's just about all

I'm gonna get me a boss man
One who's gonna treat me right
Work hard in the day time
SURE get stoned at night

Big Boss man can't you hear me when I call
You aint so big
You just tall that's just about all

I wrote the lyrics down as I listened to the song, so I apologize if there's an incorrect word
