Artist/Band: Skeeter Davis
Lyrics for Song: Rocky Top
Lyrics for Album: Skeeter Davis: Studio 102 Essentials [1996]



(Boudleaux Bryant - Felice Bryant)



Rocky Top, you'll always be

Home sweet home to me

Good ole Rocky Top, Rocky Top Tennessee

Rocky Top Tennessee.



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 met a man on Rocky Top

Part bear the other part 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 ole Rocky Top, Rocky Top Tennessee

Rocky Top Tennessee.



--- Instrumental ---



Once two strangers climbed old Rocky Top

Lookin' for a moonshine still

Straingers ain't come down from Rocky Top

I reckon they never will



Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top

Ground's too rocky by far

That's why all the folks up 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.



Rocky Top, you'll always be

Home sweet home to me

Good ole Rocky Top, Rocky Top Tennessee

Rocky Top Tennessee.



Rocky Top, you'll always be

Home sweet home to me

Good ole Rocky Top, Rocky Top Tennessee

Rocky Top Tennessee...
