Cumberland Gap by Xiu Xiu Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lay down, boys, and take a little nap
Snow knee-deep in Cumberland Gap
Cumberland Gap's a devil of a place
Couldn't find water to wash my face
[Verse 2]
Me an' my wife an' my wife's pap
Walked all the way from Cumberland Gap
Pretty little girl, if you don't care
I'll leave my demijohn a-sittin' right there
[Verse 3]
If it ain't here when I get back
I'll raise hell in Cumberland Gap
[Verse 4]
Lay down boys, and take a little rest
We'll all wake up in a whippoorwill's nest
Lay down, boys, and take a little nap
Snow knee-deep in Cumberland Gap
Cumberland Gap's a devil of a place
Couldn't find water to wash my face
[Verse 2]
Me an' my wife an' my wife's pap
Walked all the way from Cumberland Gap
Pretty little girl, if you don't care
I'll leave my demijohn a-sittin' right there
[Verse 3]
If it ain't here when I get back
I'll raise hell in Cumberland Gap
[Verse 4]
Lay down boys, and take a little rest
We'll all wake up in a whippoorwill's nest
