Cumberland Gap Songtext / Lyric

Lay down boys, and take a little nap

Snow knee-deep in Cumberland Gap



Cumberland Gap's a devil of a place

Couldn't find water to wash my face






Me an' my wife an' my wife's pap

Walked all the way from Cumberland Gap



Pretty little girl if you don't care

I'll leave my demijohn a sittin' right there



If it ain't here when I get back

I'll raise hell in Cumberland Gap



Lay down boys, and take a little rest

We'll all wake up in a whippoorwill's nest
