Wish that I was on old 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, but sweet as soda-pop
                      I still dream about that.
                            Chorus:
                    Rocky Top, you'll always be
                     Home sweet home to me.
                      Good old Rocky Top,
                     Rocky Top, Tennessee.
                     Rocky Top, Tennessee.
             Once two strangers climbed old Rocky Top
                   Lookin' for a moonshine still.
             Strangers ain't come down from Rocky Top,
                     Reckon 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.
                        (Repeat 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.
                        (Repeat Chorus)
                     Rocky Top, Tennessee!
