Smoky Mountain Memories

[Chorus] Smoky Mountain memories about my home in Tennessee Yesterday keeps calling me, calling me home Mountains rising in my soul, higher than the dreams I know Misty-eyed they cling to me, my Smoky Mountain memories [Verse 1] An old gray man with a dog asleep at his feet Plays a worn-out fiddle full of melodies He smiled with his eyes but the lines on his face Told me as much as the tunes he played [Chorus] Talking 'bout my Smoky Mountain memories, pretty girl from Tennessee I was such a fool to leave, leave her all alone Think about her in my dreams, I wonder if she thinks of me I'll always hold her close to me and my Smoky Mountain memories [Instrumental break] [Verse 2] So Mister, play your fiddle please, play some mountain memories I've been down a lonely road so far from home Nothing left to hold onto, I made some plans but they fell through Now there's nothing left for me but my Smoky Mountain memories [Chorus] Smoky Mountain memories about my home in Tennessee Yesterday keeps calling me, calling me home Mountains rising in my soul, higher than the dreams I know Misty-eyed they cling to me, my Smoky Mountain memories, mmm hmm
