Down in the hills of old Tenntucky   I remember the night that I got lucky   I saw you and you saw me   Where the Cumberland River meets the Tennessee   It's good to be good but I'd rather be lucky   Down in the hills of old Tenntucky      Heard the call of a whippoorwill   I thought I smelled a moonshine still   Train whistle moans on down the track   Taking me back   Down in the hills of old Tenntucky   Down in the hills of old Tenntucky      --- Instrumwntal ---      Heard the call of a whippoorwill   I thought I smelled a moonshine still   Train whistle moan on down the track   Taking me back   Down in the hills of old Tenntucky   Down in the hills of old Tenntucky   Down in the hills of old Tenntucky   Down in the hills of old Tenntucky...
