chorus 1 smokey mountain memories 'bout my home in tennessee yesterday keeps callin' me callin' me hooooome mountains rising in my soul higher than the dreams i've known misty eyed they cling to me my smokey mountain memories ...................... an old gray man with a dog asleep at his feet plays a worn out fiddle full of melodies he smiles with his eyes but the lines on his face told me as much as the tunes he played.... i'm talkin' bout my smokey mountain memories pretty girl from tennessee i was such a fool to leave leave her all alooooone i think about her in my dreams i wonder if she thinks of me i'll always hold her close to me in my smokey mountain memories .....fiddle solo..... so mister play your fiddle please play some mountain melodies i've been down a lonely road so far from hooooome nothing left to hold on to i made some plans but they fell through now there's nothing left for me but my smokey mountain memories .......repeat chorus 1 and fade......
