Cumberland Blues lyrics

Albert Flasher
The Guess Who
Words and music by Burton Cummings

- peaked at #29 in 1971

I was a workshop owner in the gulch for the people
And I offered myself to the world
I was a workshop owner
I was a workshop owner

I was a diesel fixer, fixed a diesel, diesel fixed me
What a weasel
And baby was a workshop owner
Baby was a workshop owner

Baby and me were ripe for the pickin`
That was the day we ran into Albert Flasher

It was a cold, snowy, rainy afternoon
And we were sittin` there in high school, my school
And Michael was a moonbeam maker
And Michael was a moonbeam maker

I was a diesel fixer, fixed a diesel, diesel fixed me
What a weasel, oh no
Baby was a workshop owner
Baby was a workshop owner

Baby and me were ripe for the pickin`
That was the day we ran into Albert Flasher

------ lead guitar ------

I was a workshop owner in the gulch for the people
And I offered myself to the world
I was a workshop owner
I was a workshop owner
I was a workshop owner
