Back in My Home Town
Lay down, boys, take a little nap
Forty more miles, Cumberland Gap

Cumberland Gap, she ain't my home
I'm a-gonna leave old Cumberland alone

Old Aunt Dinah, you can't tell
I'm a-gettin' homesick, fare you well

Me and my wife, seventeen chaps
We built a home in Cumberland Gap

Cumberland Gap, she ain't my home
I'm a-gonna leave old Cumberland alone

Old Aunt Dinah, if you don't care
Leave my liquor jug settin' right here

If it ain't here when I get back
I'll raise sand in Cumberland Gap

Old Aunt Dinah took a little spell
Broke my liquor jug all to h--

I'm goin' back to Cumberland Gap
See my Grandma and my Grandpap

Cumberland Gap is a devil of a place
You can't get a water to wash your face
