Cumberland Banks

When we started out it was a beautiful day

The sun was shining not a touch of gray

Headed down to the river to shake off the blues

Siningin Ooooooo

Didn’t hesitate shoved off the banks

We let that current carry us away

Water was calm so we floated on

Singing Ooooooooo

Let us float down the Cumberland River

Let God determine our fate

Never really knowing if you’re

Coming or you’re going

But the rivers only flowing one way

One way wooohooo

Well the weather report didn’t call for rain

But when we rounded that bend it hit us like a train

The thunder clapped and the sky went black

We were hollering Ooooooooo

CHORUS

Nowhere to run nowhere to hide

Better hope the good lords on your side

Lightning bolts came crashing down

Couldn’t count to one before you heard the sound

Shivering and clinging to the Cumberland bank

Crying Ooooooo

Just as fast as it came the storm blew away

Birds were back to singing felt like a brand new day

The water was calm so we floated on

Singing Ooooooooo

CHOURS
