I’ve just found out that $6 million man Lee Majors was brought up in Middlesboro! Kentucky! The town’s football field is named after him!

Middlesboro high school has a song, perhaps the term rah rags has a base;

We're loyal to you, Middlesboro!
We're yellow and white, Middlesboro!
We'll back you to stand
'Gainst the best in the land,
For we know you have sand,
Middlesboro, Rah! Rah!

So crack out that ball, Middlesboro!
We're backing you all, Middlesboro!
Our team is our Fame Protector,
On, boys, for we expect a
Victory from you, Middlesboro!

Che-Hee! Cha-Hah! Cha-Hah! Hah! Hah!
Middlesboro High School,
Rah! Rah! Rah!

Fling out that dear ol' flag of yellow and white,
Lean on thy sons and daughters,
Fighting for right.
Like men of Auld Lang Syne:
Shouting defiance,
Placing reliance,
Os-ke-wah-wah-wah!

Amid the broad green fields that nourish our land,
For honest labor and for learning we stand,
And unto thee we pledge our hearts and hands,
Dear ol' Alma Mater- Middlesboro!
 
Lonnie Donigan song used to confuse me as a child.

"Cumberland gap ain't nowhere
Fifteen miles from middlesborough
Cumberland gap ain't nowhere
Fifteen miles from middlesborough"
 
Another interesting fact about Middlesboro, is its the only city in the USA that is situated inside an astrobleme (basically an asteroid impact crater). :unsure:
 
My wife traced her family tree a number of years ago. She found out one of her close relatives lived there after world war 2 until they died.
