His Folkways Years, 1963-1968
Cumberland Gap ain't my home
I'm gonna leave before too long

Cumberland Gap ain't very far
Just four miles from Middlesborough

Lay down boys, take a little rest
We'll wake up in the whippoorwill's nest

Lay down boys, take a little nap
We'll all wake up in Cumberland Gap

Me and my wife and her grandpap
Walked all the way from Cumberland Gap

Cumberland Gap is an awful place
Can't get enough water to wash your face

When I die I'll make my will
I want to be buried on Cumberland Hill

Cumberland Gap ain't my home
I'm gonna leave before too long

Cumberland Gap's an awful place
Not enough water to wash your face
