David Rawlings - Cumberland Gap

Cumberland gap, its a devil of a gap

Cumberland gap, its a devil of a gap

Kiss me momma, kiss your boy

Bless me well and lucky

For I wont be back til I return

Im gone to old Kentucky

Cumberland gap, its a devil of a gap

Thats what the scouts all tell ya

Sure enough it may get tough

If it doesnt kill ya, kill ya



Kentucky, shes a-waiting on the other side

Give you the fever, put the daylight in your eyes



Brother Johns already gone

With a full-blood Cherokee maiden

He made the trip in the blizzards grip

Id 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!
