Just for fun and to aggravate a Cal friend since UT and Cal open their football season together tomorrow, here are the lyrics to the University of Tennessee's theme song, "Rocky Top":
Rocky Top
(by Boudleax and Felice Bryant)
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.
(Chorus)
ROCKY TOP, you'll always be
Home sweet home to me;
Good ol' ROCKY TOP--
ROCKY TOP Tennessee, ROCKY TOP Tennessee.
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.
(Chorus)
ROCKY TOP, you'll always be
Home sweet home to me;
Good ol' ROCKY TOP--
ROCKY TOP Tennessee, ROCKY TOP Tennessee.
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.
(Chorus)
ROCKY TOP, you'll always be
Home sweet home to me;
Good ol' ROCKY TOP--
ROCKY TOP Tennessee, ROCKY TOP Tennessee.

NO NO NO, *that* was in Kentucky! LOL
Well Rocky Tops
do give a privileged view
But Rocky Tops
can be lonely, cold & windy too
Unless you take good company to keep you warm and a windcheater. lol!
dang it, now that song is stuck in my head.
Q, yeah, that's what that 'corn in a jar' is all about! LOL I need to find a picture of a moonshine jug to add to the post.
kat, sorry! but I do kind of like that song even though I'm not really a UT fan.
