Текст David Rawlings — Cumberland Gap

Cumberland gap, it’s a devil of a gap
Cumberland gap, it’s a devil of a gap

Куплет 1

Kiss me momma, kiss your boy
Bless me well and lucky
For I won’t be back ’til I return
I’m gone to old Kentucky
Cumberland gap, it’s a devil of a gap

Sure enough it may get tough
If it doesn’t kill ya, kill ya

Припев

Oh, the snow kept coming
Picked her up upon his back
By God, he loved that woman!

Куплет 3

Lookin’ up and down the mountain
Took his trusty old flint-lock
Daniel started shoutin’, shoutin’:

Припев

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
