[Verse 1] All of my friends said "What's out in Cumberland?" "Gonna get lonesome when you get out to Cumberland" "Stay in the city, boy, winter is a wonderland" They all mean well I will remember them [Chorus] (Oh boy) Gotta get yourself back to the country now, country now (Oh boy) Gotta get yourself back to the country now [Verse 2] Wander through the holler, honey Wander through the glen Neighborly with fiddleheads, copperheads, and moccasins Build a little cabin, honey, throw a window in Watch the breeze blowin' through the hickories and dandellins [Chorus] (Oh boy) Gotta get yourself back to the country now, country now (Oh boy) Gotta get yourself back to the country now [Bridge] If you get there before I do Tell everybody I'm a'coming too [Verse 3] I know a pretty girl She's the prettiest there's ever been Wild as a weed, sweeter than a mandolin I ain't a handsome man but I bet she'd take me as I am I haven't met her yet Bet she lives in Cumberland [Chorus] (Oh boy) Gotta get yourself back to the country now, country now (Oh boy) Gotta get yourself back to the country now [Verse 4] So before you start talkin' 'bout the wonders of the world again The Taj Mahal, the Great Wall, the places that I never been Take a little drive, take a little trip to Heaven and Wonder for a while if it's Paradise or Cumberland [Chorus] (Oh boy) Get yourself back to the country now, country now (Oh boy) Gotta get yourself back to the country now [Chorus] (Oh boy) Gotta get yourself back to the country now, to the country now (Oh boy) Gotta get yourself back to the country now
