"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 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... ;)
