Lyrics

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…
