[G]Wish that I was[C]on ole[G]rocky top [EM]down in the [D]Tennessee[G]hills
[G]Aint no smoggy smoke[C]on ole[G]rocky top [EM]aint no [D]telephone[G]bills
[G]Once I had a[C]girl on[G]rocky top[EM] half bear[D]other half[G]cat
[G]Wild as a mink but[C]sweet as[G]soda pop [EM]I still [D]dream about[G]that

(chorus)
[Em]Rocky Top You'll[D]Always be[F]home sweet home to [C]me
Good Ole[G]Rocky Top, Rocky Top[F]Tenne[G]ssee,
Rocky Top[F]Tenne[G]ssee

Once 2 strangers climbed ole rocky top looking for a moonshine still
Strangers aint come down from ole rocky top reckon they never will
Corn don't grow at all on rocky top grounds too rocky by far
That's why all the folks on rocky top drink their corn from a jar

(chorus)

I've had years of cramped up city life trapped like a duck in a pen
All I know is its a petty life can't never be simple again

(chorus)
