Rocky Top Lyrics by Dolly Parton
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
(Boudleaux - Felice Bryant)

I 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 had me a man on Rocky Top
Half bear the other half cat
Wild as a mink but he was sweet as soda pop
I still dream about that.

Chorus:
Rocky Top you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good old Rocky Top
Rocky Top, Tennessee
Rocky Top, Tennessee.

Once two strangers climbed old Rocky Top
Lookin' for a moonshine still
Strangers ain't come down from Rocky Top
some say they never will.

Did you know that 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.

Chorus:
Rocky Top you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good old 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 agian.

Chorus:
Rocky Top you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good old Rocky Top
Rocky Top, Tennessee
Rocky Top, Tennessee.

Rockey Top...
