Castle on the Cumberland
by Matt Huddleston

Castle walls surround me high up on the hill
Castle walls surround me high up on the hill
Because you loved another
I'll die in Eddyville

Abandon hope all ye that enter here
Abandon hope all ye that enter here
Days drag on forever
Months turn into years

Fleece is in the dungeon because he run his mouth
Fleece is in the dungeon because he run his mouth
Throwin' every rider 'til Jesus rode him to the ground
Warden down in his white house, red clothes on my back
Warden down in his white house, red clothes on my back
When they lead me down that hallway
I ain't coming back

Castle walls around me in the Kentucky sun
Castle walls around me in the Kentucky sun
In the Castle on the Cumberland
Until my race is run
