Cumberland Gap

Lay down boys, take a little nap
Fifteen miles ’til the Cumberland Gap
Lay down boys, take a little nap
Fifteen miles ’til the Cumberland gap

Cumberland Gap!
Cumberland Gap!

My old man and my Grandpap
Worked their lives in the Cumberland Gap
My old man and my Grandpap
Served their time in the Cumberland Gap

Cumberland Gap!
Cumberland Gap!

All dead and gone
All dead and gone

Cumberland Gap, Cumberland Gap
Fifteen miles ’til the Cumberland gap
Cumberland Gap, Cumberland Gap
Fifteen miles ’til the Cumberland Gap

Cumberland Gap!
Cumberland Gap!

All dead and gone
All dead and gone

If I die out here
Tell my mother, I loved her dear!
If I die in my boots
Tell my old man, I’ll be seeing him soon!

Lay down boys, take a little nap
Fifteen miles ’til the Cumberland Gap
Lay down boys, take a little nap
Fifteen miles ’til the Cumberland gap

Cumberland Gap!
Cumberland Gap!

All dead and gone
All dead and gone
