|
Wish that I was on old Rockytop |
|
Down in the Tennessee hills. |
|
Ain't no smoggy smoke on Rockytop |
|
Ain't no telephone bills. |
|
Once I had a girl on Rockytop |
|
Half bear, the other half cat, |
|
Wild as a mink, but sweet as soda-pop |
|
I still dream about that. |
|
Rockytop, you'll always be |
|
Home sweet home to me. |
|
Good old Rockytop, |
|
Rockytop, Tennessee. |
|
Rockytop, Tennessee. |
|
Once two strangers climbed old Rockytop |
|
Lookin' for a moonshine still. |
|
Strangers ain't come down from Rockytop, |
|
Reckon they never will. |
|
Corn won't grow at all on Rockytop - |
|
Dirt's too rocky by far. |
|
That's why all the folks on Rockytop |
|
Get their corn from a jar. |
|
(chorus) |
|
I've had years of cooped up city life, |
|
Trapped like a dog in a pen. |
|
All I know is it's a pity life |
|
Can't be simple again. |
|
(chorus) |
