Me and my wife and my wife's pap
We all live down in Cumberland Gap

Cumberland Gap, Cumberland Gap
Mmm ,way down yonder in Cumberland Gap

Cumberland Gap is a noted place
Three kinds of water to wash your face

* Refrain

The first white man in Cumberland Gap
Was Doctor Walker, an English chap

* Refrain

Daniel Boone on Pinnacle Rock
He killed Injuns with his old flintlock

* Refrain

Lay down, boys, and take a little nap
Fo'teen miles to the Cumberland Gap

* Refrain
