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 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 you'll 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 ain't come back from rocky top

Guess 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 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



Now I've had years of cramped up city life

Trapped like a duck in a pen

Now 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

Rocky top Tennessee

Yeah, rocky top Tennessee
