Cumberland Gap Songtext
Cumberland gap, it's a devil of a gap
Cumberland gap, it's a devil of a gap

Kiss me momma, kiss your boy
Bless me wherein lurkin'
For I won't be back til' I return
I'm gone to old Kentucky
Cumberland gap, it's a devil of a gap
That's what the scouts all tell ya
Sure enough it may get tough
If it doesn't kill ya, kill ya

Kentucky she's a waiting on the other side
Give you the fever, with the daylight in your eyes

[?] John's already gone
With the full-bird Cherokee maiden
[?] blizzard's [?]
I'd rather wrestle Satan
Cumberland gap, it's a devil of a gap
Oh, it still kept coming
Picked it up upon his back
By God, he loved that woman!


Then you stood on the pinnacle rock
Lookin' up and down the mountain
Took his [?] and laughed
Then you started shoutin', shoutin':
Kentucky she's a waiting on the other side
Give you the fever with the daylight in your eyes

Cumberland gap, it's a devil of a gap
Cumberland gap, it's a devil of a gap
Cumberland gap, it's a devil of a gap
Cumberland gap, it's a devil of a gap
