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 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... It was a High Cumberland jubilee Such a High Cumberland jubilee (5 x's) Yeah... 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
