Lyrics for Cumberland Gap

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
