Cumberland Gap

Lay down, boys, and take a little nap
We're all going down to Cumberland Gap

We're all going down to Cumberland Gap

Cumberland Gap's a devil of a place
Couldn't find water to wash my face...

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...

Me an' my wife an' my wife's pap
Walked all the way from Cumberland Gap...

Lay down, boys, and take a little nap
Snow knee-deep in Cumberland Gap...

Cumberland Gap ain't my home
I'm going to leave Cumberland alone...

Lay down, boys, and take a little rest
We'll all wake up in a whippoorwill's nest...

Save up some money and buy me a farm
Raise sweet 'taters as long as your arm...
