Owens, Buck - Rocky Top Lyrics
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.
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.
[Instrumental]
Once two strangers climbed on Rocky Top,
Lookin' for a moonshine still.
Strangers ain't come down from Rocky Top,
I recon' 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 fix from a jar.
Rocky Top, you'll always be
Home sweet home to me.
Good ole Rocky Top,
Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee.
[Instrumental]
Yeah, I've had years of cramped up city life,
Trapped like a duck in a pen.
And 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 Tennesee...

Yee yee!!!
This was the first version of this song I ever heard. At the time, I had no idea how big this song was. A true standard.
Buck was good.
Go Vols!
takes me back to the old days
doesn t get any better than this .
remember so clearly seeing Buck Owens & The Buckaroos in concert ~~~
WHAT a performance! SUCH professionals. Deeply sad we lost Buck so relartively early, also his right-hand man Don......
THE BEST ALONG WTH RUBY!!
Great version of this song.. but does he say "get their dicks from a jar"?
"Kicks" is what he says.
Usual line is corn from a jar
He said gets their kicks , but he meant sticks their dicks in a jar ,
Rocky top you’ll always be a place where I can use my jar
To Deadly
go Tennessee rocky top go......
Fin sang
FYI Lake City changed its name to Rocky Top, Tennessee.
GO VOLS!! Ducks are good for supper.
This is a great version of this classic tune... way to go Buck.
GO OREGON DUCKS!
ducks a flash in the pan.
The Ducks are my 3rd favorite team after the Wolf Pack and the Razorbacks.
Buck was a Vol fan? Makes me love him even more!! Go Big Orange!!!
A rocky top farewell to lane kiffen, so long sucker
Thanks for the comment and the listen!
I really think highly of Buck Owens!!!!!! RIP!!!!!
Thank for the listen and the comments!
Thank for the listen and the comments!
Its totally unbelivable,because Buck Owens did this lovely number in a 1974 segment of
"HEE HAW",with the whole Hee Haw gang. that episode also featured Johnny Cash and Jean Shepard. i sure miss this guy,because without a doubt,he was the Best of the
country western singers,,and "HEE HAW" was also the finest variety hour on TV,long
since its debut on CBS in summer 1969,running until 1992,,that's what i call longevity!
love this song!
OH yes! GO Volunteers!
Yah - Hoo! Go VOLS!
Yes Rocky Top Tennessee....Great Smoky Mountains....Knoxville, TN GO VOLS!!!!!! Pigeon Forge, Gatlingburg & Sevierville. Hi From New Zealand miss my home in Knoxville but do like it here.
