On the rock bluffs is high enough
Down below lock number two
Hanging trot lines out the window
I'm making love to you
Oh my darling, Oh my darling, Oh my darling, Oh my darling
Oh my darling, Oh my darling, sweet Marie
We'll be slumberin' we'll be slumberin' On the Cumberland
Down in Nashville, down in Nashville Tennessee
Instrumental
Bringing fire wood up the river banks
When the water is way down low
Build a fire a little higher
You come herw and warm your toes
Oh my darling, Oh my darling, Oh my darling, Oh my darling
Oh my darling, Oh my darling, sweet Marie
We'll be slumberin' we'll be slumberin' On the Cumberland
Down in Nashville, down in Nashville Tennessee
Instrumental
When the morrow In the morning
There's nothing much to see
We'll be slumberin' on the Cumberland
Marie, just you and me
Chorus
