Roger Whittaker - Rocky Top



Wish that I was on ol' Rocky Top

Down in the Tennessee hills

Aint' no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top

Ain't no telephone bills

Once I had a girl on Rocky Top

Half bear, other half cat

Wild as a mink,

but sweet as soda pop 

I still dream about that.



Rocky Top you'll always be 

Home sweet home to me

Good ol' Rocky Top

Rocky Top Tennessee, 

Rocky Top Tennessee



Once two strangers climbed ol' Rocky Top 

Lookin' for a moonshine still

Strangers ain't come down from Rocky Top 

Reckon they never will



Rocky Top you'll always be 

Home sweet home to me

Good ol' Rocky Top

Rocky Top Tennessee, 

Rocky Top Tennessee



Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top

 Dirt's too rocky by far

That's why all the folks on Rocky Top

 Get their corn from a jar



Rocky Top you'll always be 

Home sweet home to me

Good ol' Rocky Top

Rocky Top Tennessee, 

Rocky Top Tennessee 



I've had years of cramped-up city life 

Trapped like a duck in a pen

All I know is it's a pity life 

Can't be simple again



Rocky Top you'll always be 

Home sweet home to me

Good ol' Rocky Top

Rocky Top Tennessee, 

Rocky Top Tennessee



Beautiful Tennessee
