Cumberland Blues: Reaching the end of the project

Well, our litigation project finishes at the end of the business day today.
It has been nine full weeks. This song, off the legendary classic, "Workingman's Dead", has been on my playlist the last couple of days, in part because of recent downloads of its live version (9/12/87 and 9/23/87). Today, it's words ring true, especially after one final all-nighter to reach completion.

Cumberland Blues
Lyrics: Robert Hunter
Music: Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh

I can't stay here much longer, Melinda
The sun is getting high
I can't help you with your troubles
If you won't help with mine
I gotta get down
I gotta get down
Gotta get down to the mine

You keep me up just one more night
I can't stop here no more
Little BEN clock says quarter to eight
You kept me up till four
I gotta get down
I gotta get down
Or I can't work there no more

Lotta poor man make a five dollar bill
Will keep him happy all the time
Some other fellow's making nothing at all
And you can hear him cry

Can I go, buddy, can I go down
Take your shift at the mine
Gotta get down to the Cumberland mine
That's where I mainly spend my time

Make good money, five dollars a day
If I made any more I might move away

Lotta poor man got the Cumberland Blues
He can't win for losing
Lotta poor man got to walk the line
Just to pay his union dues

I don't know now, I just don't know
If I'm going back again
I don't know now, I just don't know
If I'm going back again

What a classic tune. How appropo for a final day at work.
