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.

Once I had a girl on Rocky Top,
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...

  30. J.... S....

    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!

  31. T.... ....

    love this song!

  32. E.... B....

    OH yes! GO Volunteers!

  33. E.... B....

    Yah - Hoo! Go VOLS!
