BACK TO OLD SMOKY MOUNTAIN
(Autry / Cross)
Gene Autry - 1933


There's a place I love so
I want the world to know
I'm always dreaming, I'm always dreamin'
For the place that I want to go

Back to Old Smoky Mountain
Back to that old hometown of mine
Birds in the trees, and the honeybees
Cling to the honeysuckle vine
There's a little girl that's waiting
Praying each night and day for me
Back to Old Smoky Mountain
Back to my home in Tennessee

Ever since I left my home
Out in the world too long
I've been so lonesome, oh so lonesome
For my mountain home

Back to Old Smoky Mountain
Back to that old hometown of mine
The birds in the trees, and the honeybees
Cling to the honeysuckle vine
There's a little girl that's waiting
Praying each night and day for me
Back to Old Smoky Mountain
Back to my home in Tennessee
