Doc Watson
Cumberland Gap (aka Tumblin’ Gap)
Ida May? if you don’t care
Leave my demi-john sittin’ right here
If it ain’t here when I come back
Gonna raise sand in Cumberland Gap
Cumberland Gap is a heck of a place
Can't get enough water to wash your face
Cumberland Gap ain't my home
I'm gonna leave that Cumberland alone
Come on boys, take a little nap
Fall down drunk in Cumberland Gap
Cumberland Gap ain't my home
I'm gonna leave that Cumberland alone
Me and my wife and my wife’s pap
Walked all the way from Cumberland Gap
