—Spencer & Rains:
Come on boys lets take a little nap
We'll all go down to the Cumberland Gap
Cumberland Gap, Cumberland Gap
We'll all go down to the Cumberland Gap
Cumberland Gap is a mighty fine place,
There's streams of whiskey to wash your face
Lay down boys and take your ease
Gonna have a battle with the ticks and fleas.
Refrain:
Cumberland Gap, Cumberland Gap
We'll all go down to the Cumberland Gap
Cumberland Gap, Cumberland Gap
We'll all go down to the Cumberland Gap
Well ox to the wagon and everything's packed
We'll all go down to the Cumberland Gap
Cumberland Gap, oh Cumberland Gap
We'll all go down to the Cumberland Gap
When I die I'll make my will
I want to be buried on a Cumberland hill,
Cumberland Gap is now my home
Gonna leave old Cumberland alone.
