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
till 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 a full-blood Cherokee maiden
He made the trip
in the blizzard's grip
I'd rather wrestle Satan
Cumberland Gap
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 flintlock
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
