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 |
