Rocky Top

(albüm: Ruby - 1971)

Wish that I was on ole 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, 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.

[Instrumental]

Once two strangers climbed on Rocky Top,
Looking for a moonshine still.
Strangers ain't come down from Rocky Top,
I recon' they never will.

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 fix 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]

Yeah, I've had years of cramped up city life,
Trapped like a duck in a pen.
And 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 Tennesee...
