THE VIPERS SKIFFLE GROUP - The Cumberland Gap



Lay down, boys, and take a little nap
We"re all going down to Cumberland Gap

Refrain:Cumberland Gap, 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...
