I'm just a smokey mountain boy
Comin' back to the hills I love
Where the tops of pine are bendin' in the wind
And the deep blue sky aboveThe closer and closer I get to home, the more excited I am
Those were the mornings, I'd roll out of bed
Start the day off with a hot corn bread
Smothered in huckleberry jamI'm just a smokey mountain boy
Comin' back to the hills I love
Where the tops of pine are bendin' in the wind
And the deep blue sky aboveI can almost hear the hounds running through the woods
Close on the trail of a hare
How I long to be with them following the hounds a huntin' again
Gettin' me a big old grizzly bearI'm just a smokey mountain boy
Comin' back to the hills I love
Where the tops of pine are bendin' in the wind
And the deep blue sky aboveI traveled around and met lots of girls
No matter how many I see
I left some pretty ones behind
I know, back home is where I'll find
The girl whose love is meant for meI'm just a smokey mountain boy
Comin' back to the hills I love
With the tops of pine, all bending in the wind
And the deep blue sky above
