Maybe leaving's better in the afternoon
When the rain don't fall so hard
From where we were we had
To look down far below
To see just what went on in our own backyard
Coming down slow without a thing to show
Wondering what went on while we were up there
Mountain roads now asphalt highways
That we once called heaven's skyways
Children lost
What is the cost to get back home again?
La La La La La La La La La
La La La La La La La La La
High Cumberland Jubilee
It was a high Cumberland jubilee
Such a high Cumberland jubilee
It was a high Cumberland jubilee
Such a high Cumberland jubilee
It was a high Cumberland jubilee
Such a high Cumberland jubilee
I'm goin' to climb up in the mountain
I'm goin' to climb up in the tree
I'm goin' to climb up in the mountain
I'm goin' to see what I can see you know
It was a high Cumberland jubilee
Such a high Cumberland jubilee
It was a high Cumberland jubilee
Such a high Cumberland jubilee
It was a high Cumberland jubilee
Such a high Cumberland jubilee
