I'm just a smokey mountain boy
Comin' back to the hills I love
With the tops of pine all bendin' in the wind
And the deep blue sky above
The 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 hot corn bread
Smothered in huckleberry jam
I'm just a smokey mountain boy
Comin' back to the hills I love
With the tops of pine all bendin' in the wind
And the deep blue sky above
I can almost hear the hounds runnin' through the woods
Close on the trail of a hare
How I long to be with them followin' the hounds
a-huntin' again
Gettin' me a big ol' grizzly bear
I'm just a smokey mountain boy
Comin' back to the hills I love
With the tops of pine all bendin' in the wind
And the deep blue sky above
I've travelled 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 me
I'm just a smokey mountain boy
Comin' back to the hills I love
With the tops of pine all bendin' in the wind
And the deep blue sky above
