Rocky Top

[UTVOLFAN]

For all you people at the games who sing Rocky Top wrong.....LEARN IT!!!

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 there was 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.

Once two strangers climbed on rocky top,
Lookin’ for a moonshine still.
Strangers ain’t come back from rocky top,
Guess 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 corn from a jar.

Rocky top, you’ll always be
Home sweet home to me.
Good ole rocky top,
Rocky top tennessee, rocky top tennessee.

Now I’ve had years of cramped up city life,
Trapped like a duck in a pen.
Now 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 tennessee, rocky top tennessee.
Yeah rocky top tennesee eee eee eee.

ACTUALLY...it's "Once I had a girl on Rocky Top"

Why else would he still be dreaming about her?

I&#39;ll get raked over the coals for this . . . but TNVOLS1 - I completely agree. The "woo" is a fairly recent addition to the song that just sounds goofy.

Kind of funny that I would have this avatar and object to a "woo". :blink:

Agree&#33; you&#39;ll get no whoo&#33; from me

 

[allvol]

I&#39;m confused.... is it wooo, woo, or whoo?

 

[GAVol]

Depends on which section you are sitting in and how much they&#39;ve had to drink.

Typically it&#39;s woo in the lower level - Who? in the skyboxes - and woooooooooooooo in the upper deck.

I can&#39;t help but laugh when I see your avatar&#33; :dlol:

 

[GAVol]

I think the avatar has had a positive effect on this board. Nobody ever used to talk about "wooing" until I changed avatars.

 

[9296potsguy]

Being in the "Pride" I rather enjoyed the wooo, usually done with a salute :clap:

 

[DownNDirty]

Not trying to be picky but I&#39;ve always heard this verse:

Strangers ain’t come back from rocky top,
Guess they never will.

as: Replace Guess with Reckon&#39; - Reckon&#39; they never will

About your avatar, love it, meant to say something about it when I joined the board. Ric Flair was my hero when I was little in the early 80&#39;s. The 4 Horseman were the best group ever in wrestling. Not trying to stray too far off topic but any old school wrestling fans need to check out www.kayfabememories.com as I think it&#39;s the best old school site on the net today.

Ah, but ya gotta love Rocky Top&#33;

Is that "had" in the Christian sense of the word? :naughty:

 

[JohnsonCityVol]

I think the Wooo kind of emphasizes the crowd&#39;s participation, I like it. But it&#39;s fine without it too.
