Gene Nelson - Smokey Mountain Boy lyrics

[Chorus] I'm just a Smokey mountain boy Come back to the hills I love Where the tops of pine all bend in the wind And the deep blue sky above [Verse 1] 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 a hot corn bread Smothered in huckleberry jam [Chorus] [Verse 2] I can almost hear the hounds running through the woods Close on the trail of the hare How I long to be with them following the hounds a-hunting again Getting me a big old grizzly bear [Chorus] [Verse 3] I 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 means for me [Chorus]
