Wish that I was on old Rocky Top

Down in the Tennessee hills

Ain't no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top

Ain't no telephone bills.



Once I had a girl on Rocky Top

Half bear the 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 ole Rocky Top, Rocky Top, Tennessee

Rocky Top, Tennessee.



Once two strangers climbed old Rocky Top

Looking for a moonshine still

Strangers ain't come down from Rocky Top

Reckon they never will.



Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top

Ground'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 ole Rocky Top, Rocky Top, Tennessee

Rocky Top, Tennessee.



--- Instrumental ---



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 ole Rocky Top, Rocky Top, Tennessee

Rocky Top, Tennessee.



Rocky Top, Tennessee...
