Road to Kaintuck - June Carter Cash

We’re goin' west to Kaintuck down the road to Moccasin Gap

Down the wilderness road

The Dug Road the old Reedy Creek Road

The Road down Troublesome Road through Moccasin Gap

There was a time when goin' way out west meant goin' to Kaintuck

The dark and bloody ground as Indians called it

Indians wars were ragin' and men like Daniel Boone and Michael Stoner

Came down the wilderness road like countless families did

Through a place in south West Virginia called Big Moccasin Gap

It’s a hot day in '73 and this is my wife and my kids with me

Daniel Boone lost his boy the other day young Jim Boone is dead twenty miles

away

The wagons turn and went back home even Daniel couldn’t make it alone

I guess prob’ly Daniel could but he stopped awhile in castle wood

(If you love your wife and love your baby man

Turn your wagons back as soon as you can

Ev’ry Injun in these hills has gone berserk you never gonna make it to Kaintuck)

Ah I bet I’m gonna make it to Kaintuck

We’re goin' west to Kaintuck down the road to Moccasin Gap

Down the wilderness road

The Dug Road the old Reedy Creek Road

The Road down Troublesome Road through Moccasin Gap

The Dug Road the old Reedy Creek Road

The Road down Troublesome Road through Moccasin Gap
