Wish that I was on ol' Rock-y-Top,
Down in the Ten-nes-see hills;
Ain't no smog-gy smoke on Rock-y Top;
Ain't no tel-e-phone bills;
Once I had a girl on Rock-y Top;
Half bear, the oth-er half cat;
Wild as a mink, but sweet as so-da pop,
I still dream a-bout that;
Rock-y Top, you'll al-ways be
home sweet ho-me to me;
Good ol' Rock-y Top;
Rock-y Top, Ten-nes-see;
Rock-y Top, Ten-nes-see.
