[Verse 1]
Lay down boys, take a little nap
Fifteen miles to the Cumberland Gap
Lay down boys, take a little nap
Fifteen miles to the Cumberland Gap
[Refrain]
Cumberland Gap
Cumberland Gap
[Verse 2]
My old man and my grandpop
Worked their lives in the Cumberland Gap
My old man and my grandpop
Served their time in the Cumberland Gap
[Refrain]
Cumberland Gap
Cumberland Gap
All dead and gone
All dead and gone
[Verse 3]
Cumberland Gap, Cumberland Gap
Fifteen miles to the Cumberland Gap
Cumberland Gap, Cumberland Gap
Fifteen miles to the Cumberland Gap
[Refrain]
Cumberland Gap
Cumberland Gap
All dead and gonе
All dead and gone
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
And if I die out hеre
Tell my mother I loved her dear
And if I die in my boots
Tell my old man I'll be seein' him soon
[Verse 5]
Lay down boys, take a little nap
Fifteen miles to the Cumberland Gap
Lay down boys, take a little nap
Fifteen miles to the Cumberland Gap
[Refrain]
Cumberland Gap
Cumberland Gap
All dead and gone
All dead and gone
