Cumberland Gap

Lay down boys and take a little nap,
lay down boys and take a little nap,
lay down boys and take a little nap,
to gunneries hill in Cumberland Gap.

Cumberland Gap with its cliffs and rocks
home of the panther, bear and fox.
The first white man in Cumberland Gap,
was a Doctor Walker, an English chap.

Lay down boys and take a little nap,
lay down boys and take a little nap,
lay down boys and take a little nap,
to gunneries hill in Cumberland Gap.

Cumberland Gap is an awful place,
the shells go off right in your face.
Kirby Smith holds command,

when George Morgans yankees landed

Eight hundred and sixty-two
Morgan's Yankees all withdrew.
They spiked ther guns and left them drop,
over the clifs on mountain top.

They took the meal, they took the meat
and let the people nothing to eat.
Lay down boys and take a little nap,
to gunneries hill in Cumberland Gap.

Lay down boys and take a little nap,
lay down boys and take a little nap,
lay down boys and take a little nap,
to gunneries hill in Cumberland Gap.
