Lay down, boys, and take a little nap
s
Snow knee-deep in Cumberland Gap
s
Cumberland Gap’s a devil of a place
s
Couldn’t find water to wash my face
s
Me an’ my wife an’ my wife’s pap
s
Walked all the way from Cumberland Gap
s
Pretty little girl, if you don’t care
s
I’ll leave my demijohn a-sittin’ right there
s
If it ain’t here when I get back
s
I’ll raise hell in Cumberland Gap
s
Lay down boys, and take a little rest
s
We’ll all wake up in a whippoorwill’s nest
