David Rawlings - Cumberland Gap

Текст песни David Rawlings - Cumberland Gap:

[Refrain]
Cumberland gap, its a devil of a gap
Cumberland gap, its a devil of a gap

[Verse 1]
Kiss me momma, kiss your boy
Bless me well and lucky
For I wont be back til I return
Im gone to old Kentucky
Cumberland gap, its a devil of a gap
Thats what the scouts all tell ya
Sure enough it may get tough
If it doesnt kill ya, kill ya

[Chorus]
Kentucky shes a waiting on the other side
Give you the fever, put the daylight in your eyes

[Verse 2]
Brother Johns already gone
With the full-blood Cherokee maiden
He made the trip in the blizzards grip
Id rather wrestle Satan
Cumberland gap, its a devil of a gap
Oh, the snow kept coming
Picked her up upon his back
By God, he loved that woman!

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Daniel stood on the pinnacle rock
Lookin up and down the mountain
Took his trusty old flint-lock
Daniel started shoutin, shoutin:

[Chorus]
Kentucky shes a waiting on the other side
Give you the fever, put the daylight in your eyes

[Refrain]
Cumberland gap, its a devil of a gap
Cumberland gap, its a devil of a gap
Cumberland gap, its a devil of a gap
Cumberland gap, its a devil of a gap
