Intro: G C G D G Verse: G I left old Kentucky in a blinding fog C G headed for the southland haulin cedar logs. G Along around Celina I saw the sky turn blue G D G Headed for the Southland with a six man crew. Chorus: G Cumberland River carry me C G on down the line to sunny Tennessee. G Shirley Mae's awaitin' as lonely as can be G D G Cumberland River let me feel that southern breeze.

G Shirley Mae's awaitin' as lonely as can be G D G Cumberland River let me feel that southern breeze.
