Cumberland Gap |
| 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 well and lucky |
| 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, put the daylight in your eyes |
| Brother John’s already gone |
| With the full-blood Cherokee maiden |
| He made the trip in the blizzard’s grip |
| I’d rather wrestle Satan |
| Cumberland gap, it’s a devil of a gap |
| Oh, the snow kept coming |
| Picked her up upon his back |
| By God, he loved that woman! |
| Daniel stood on the pinnacle rock |
| Lookin' up and down the mountain |
| Took his trusty old flint-lock |
| Daniel started shoutin', shoutin': |
| Kentucky she’s a waiting on the other side |
| Give you the fever, put 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 |
