Me and my wife and my wife's pap
We all walked over the Cumberland Gap Cumberland Gap, Cumberland Gap
We all walked over the Cumberland Gap
Me and my pap and an old blind dog Crossed that creek on a hickory log Hickory log, hickory log
Crossed that river on a hickory log
Come on Charlie take a little nap
Wake up sober in the Cumberland Gap Cumberland Gap, Cumberland Gap We all wake up in the Cumberland Gap
Silly little gals if you don't care
Leave that liquor jar a sitting right there
If it ain't here when i get back
Wonder where it came from the Cumberland Gap
Cumberland Gap ain't my home
I'm going to leave old Cumberland alone Me and my wife and my wife's pap
We all walked over the Cumberland Gap
