Osborne Brothers- Rocky Top


Aside from the fact this is a excellent high energy blue grass hit, the verse “Once two strangers climbed ol’ Rocky Top Lookin’ for a moonshine still. strangers ain’t come down from Rocky Top, reckon they never will” makes it quite appropriate.

Wish that I was on ol’ 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, other half cat
Wild as a mink, but sweet as soda pop
I still dream about that

Rocky top, you’ll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ol’ Rocky Top
Rocky top, Tennessee
Rocky top, Tennessee

Once two strangers climbed ol’ 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

Rocky top, you’ll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ol’ Rocky Top
Rocky top, Tennessee
Rocky top, Tennessee

I’ve had years of cramped up city life
Trapped like a duck in a pen
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 ol’ Rocky Top
Rocky top, Tennessee
Rocky top, Tennessee
Rocky top, Tennessee
