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 Laaaaa
  La La La La La La La La Laaaaa
  
  It was a high Cumberland Jubilee
  Such a high Cumberland Jubilee
