Wish that I was on ole rocky top,
Down in the tennessee hills.
Aint no smoggy smoke on rocky top,
Aint no telephone bills.
Once there was 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, youll always be
Home sweet home to me.
Good ole rocky top,
Rocky top tennessee, rocky top tennessee.
Once two strangers climbed on rocky top,
Lookin for a moonshine still.
Strangers aint come back from rocky top,
Guess they never will.
Corn wont grow at all on rocky top,
Dirts too rocky by far.
Thats why all the folks on rocky top
Get their corn from a jar.
Rocky top, youll always be
Home sweet home to me.
Good ole rocky top,
Rocky top tennessee, rocky top tennessee.
Now Ive had years of cramped up city life,
Trapped like a duck in a pen.
Now all I know is its a pity life
Cant be simple again.
Rocky top, youll always be
Home sweet home to me.
Good ole rocky top,
Rocky top tennessee, rocky top tennessee.
Rocky top tennessee, rocky top tennessee.
Yeah rocky top tennesee eee eee eee.
still no toe tapping...sorry! lol But I do find the lyrics interesting! Thanks for sharing.
Can you post a MIDI file so we can get the tune?
I've been listening to Phish cover this song for years and could never figure out that verse. Whenever I'm singing along in my car like a moron I have to pause between "Once there was a girl on rocky top" and "sweet as soda pop".
Thank you for posting that. I can't stop smiling here at my desk. I can't stop thinking about hearing that song being sung by 100,000 + people on a Saturday in Knoxville.
The only time I ever had the honor of meeting Fred was outside the stadium in Knoxville.
Run Fred, RUN!
