Cumberland Gap

[Chorus]

Cumberland Gap, Cumberland Gap

Seventeen miles from the Cumberland Gap

Cumberland Gap, Cumberland Gap

Seventeen miles from the Cumberland Gap



Lay down boys take a little nap,

Seventeen miles from the Cumberland Gap

Lay down boys and take a little nap,

Seventeen miles from the Cumberland Gap



[Chorus]



Cumberland Gap, it ain't nowhere

Thirteen miles from Middlesburg

Cumberland Gap, it ain't nowhere

Thirteen miles from Middlesburg



[Chorus]



Play it pretty, Sonny

Hey, hey, ho-ho-ho

Play it again

Mighty pretty



As I was a'going down the road

I met that terrapin and I met that toad

Then that time the terrapin sing

Oh, don't touch that pigeon wing



[Chorus: x2]
