Castle On The Cumberland

CASTLE ON THE CUMBERLAND (C)
Dennis K Duff 2015

It was a two timing woman that put me here
The judge gave me life plus twenty years
They sent me down the river to Eddyville
Where my hearts’ gonna beat till it don’t beat still

I’m locked in the Castle on the Cumberland
Doin’ my time till my time is done
Locked in the Castle on the Cumberland
I’m the king of the fools on cell block one

Well I kind of went crazy and I lost control
When she traded my love for a rich man’s gold
I caught ’em together one night in the dark
And with one shot I stopped two cheatin’ hearts

I’m locked in the Castle on the Cumberland
Doin’ my time till my time is done
Locked in the Castle on the Cumberland
I’m the king of the fools on cell block one

It was a two timing woman that put me here
The judge gave me life plus twenty years
They sent me down the river to Eddyville
Where my hearts’ gonna beat till it don’t beat still
