Wish that I wason olerocky top down in the Tennesseehills
Aint no smoggy smokeon olerocky top aint no telephonebills
Once I had agirl onrocky top half bearother halfcat
Wild as a mink butsweet assoda pop I still dream aboutthat
(chorus)
Rocky Top You'llAlways behome sweet home to me
Good OleRocky Top, Rocky TopTennessee,
Rocky TopTennessee
Once 2 strangers climbed ole rocky top looking for a moonshine still
Strangers aint come down from ole rocky top reckon they never will
Corn don't grow at all on rocky top grounds too rocky by far
That's why all the folks on rocky top drink their corn from a jar
(chorus)
I've had years of cramped up city life trapped like a duck in a pen
All I know is its a petty life can't never be simple again
(chorus)
