Текст песни Cumberland Gap - 2nd South Carolina String Band

Lay down, Boys, and take a little nap,
Lay down, Boys, and take a little nap,
Lay down, Boys, and take a little nap,
Fourteen miles to the 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,
All raise hell in the Cumberland Gap.

Daniel Boone up on Pinnacle Rock
He killed a bear with an old flint lock
Cumberland Gap is a fearsome place
The shells go off right in your face

Lay down, Boys, and take a little nap,
Lay down, Boys, and take a little nap,
Lay down, Boys, and take a little nap,
All raise hell in the Cumberland Gap.

In September of '62
Morgan's Yankees all withdrew
Kirby Smith and his rebel band
He run George Morgan back to Yankee land

Lay down, Boys, and take a little nap,
Lay down, Boys, and take a little nap,
Lay down, Boys, and take a little nap,
All raise hell in the Cumberland Gap.

They spiked their guns and let them drop
Over the cliffs of the mountain top
They burn the hay, the mule, and the meat
And left the rebels with nothing to eat

Lay down, Boys, and take a little nap,
Lay down, Boys, and take a little nap,
Lay down, Boys, and take a little nap,
All raise hell in the Cumberland Gap.

So com'on boys, no time to nap
Com'on boys, now lift your cap
Com'on boys, give a rebel yell
We'll send those Yankees right to hell

So com'on boys, no time to nap
So com'on boys, no time to nap
So com'on boys, no time to nap
All raise hell in the Cumberland Gap.
