icepixie"Wish that I was on ol' Rocky Top..."
AUGH! *beats head against wall*
WHY is this STUCK in my head? Why? WHY??? *whimpers*
Ah, well. I suppose all I can do is..annoy everyone else with it! Muaaaaahahahaha... Okay, maybe I'll only annoy![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fiara and Ellen (you're both already angrily singing this to yourselves, aren't you?), 'cause I dunno if anyone else knows it, but yeah. It's one of Tennessee's six state songs, and it's also UT's fight song, I think.
Heh. Here's a midi, and here are the
Wish that I was on ol’ 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, other half cat;
Wild as a mink, but sweet as soda pop,
I still dream about that.
Rocky Top, you’ll always be
home sweet home to me;
Good ol’ Rocky Top,
Rocky Top, Tennessee,
Rocky Top, Tennesse
Once two strangers climbed ol’ Rocky Top,
lookin’ for a moonshine still;
Strangers ain’t come down from Rocky Top,
Reckon 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;
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 again.
Rocky Top, you’ll always be
home sweet home to me;
Good ol’ Rocky Top,
Rocky Top, Tennessee,
Rocky Top, Tennesse.
God, I remember being taught this in elementary school music classes. Gah.
Although y'know, that song really explains so much about this state... ;)

Rocky Top
Date: 2004-01-12 07:11 pm (UTC)Wasn't there another verse?
"Once I had a girl on Rocky Top, Half bear other half cat.
Wild as a *insert one syllable word here* but sweet as a *insert 3 syllable word here*
And I just *something something* that..."
Something like that?
I remember wondering as a little kid how someone could be half bear and half cat.
Not to mention how much it would cost to see a cat making sweet sweet love to a bear.
-Meg (Bear-lovin'... Think about it. A cat loving a bear."
