The Road to Kaintuck |
We’re goin' west to Kaintuck down the road to Moccasin Gap |
Down the wilderness road |
The Dug Road the old Reedy Creek Road |
The Road down Troublesome Road through Moccasin Gap |
There was a time when goin' way out west meant goin' to Kaintuck |
The dark and bloody ground as Indians called it |
Indians wars were ragin' and men like Daniel Boone and Michael Stoner |
Came down the wilderness road like countless families did |
Through a place in south West Virginia called Big Moccasin Gap |
It’s a hot day in '73 and this is my wife and my kids with me |
Daniel Boone lost his boy the other day young Jim Boone is dead twenty miles |
away |
The wagons turn and went back home even Daniel couldn’t make it alone |
I guess prob’ly Daniel could but he stopped awhile in castle wood |
(If you love your wife and love your baby man |
Turn your wagons back as soon as you can |
Ev’ry Injun in these hills has gone berserk you never gonna make it to Kaintuck) |
Ah I bet I’m gonna make it to Kaintuck |
We’re goin' west to Kaintuck down the road to Moccasin Gap |
Down the wilderness road |
The Dug Road the old Reedy Creek Road |
The Road down Troublesome Road through Moccasin Gap |
The Dug Road the old Reedy Creek Road |
The Road down Troublesome Road through Moccasin Gap |
