A fine recording of Cumberland Gap, sung by Frank Proffitt, in the anthology High Atmosphere: Ballads and Banjo Tunes from Virginia and North Carolina, Rounder Records (1975): CUMBERLAND GAP (Frank Proffitt version) Well, I'm goin' to Cumberland Gap See my granny and my grandpap When I die, I make a will I want to be buried on Cumberland Hill Cumberland Gap, oh Cumberland Gap Everybody headin' for the Cumberland Gap Listen here, Katy, if you don't care Leave my liquor jug a-settin' here It's not here when I get back I'll raise the devil in Cumberland Gap Well, ox to the wagon, everything packed Everybody headin' for the Cumberland Gap Cumberland Gap is not my home I'm gon' leave old Cumberland alone
