Smoky Mountain Girl

Lyrics

[Verse 1] On the Pigeon River where the kudzu grows You swear you thought you'd seen a ghost Haunting them banks, boogering by Looking for a place to lay down and die Well, that's just me, looking half dead Trying to make sense of the words you said Hush, little babe, don't say a thing Meet me up the mountain with a wedding ring [Chorus] And I guess that's why they call Them Great Smoky Mountains 'Cause they cover every trace And they hide a man's face when he cries Yeah, I guess that's why they call Thеm Great Smoky Mountains 'Cause they makе it hard to find What became of that Smoky Mountain girl of mine [Verse 2] When the sun shines down on the Tellico plain The mountains bear the shadows plain Well, love's a little more like that Just a little glimmer is all you're gonna get Well, I've seen the Rockies and the Ozarks too I've known a few women, but none like you Hush, little babe, the hills have eyes They're seeing through the haze and your little white lies [Chorus] And I guess that's why they call Them Great Smoky Mountains 'Cause they cover every trace And they hide a man's face When he cries Yeah, I guess that's why they call Them Great Smoky Mountains 'Cause they make it hard to find What became of that Smoky Mountain girl of mine [Verse 3] On the Pigeon River where the kudzu grows You swear you thought you'd seen a ghost Of a heartless fool, well, that's just me Haunting these hills of east Tennessee [Chorus] And I guess that's why they call Them Great Smoky Mountains 'Cause they cover every trace And they hide a man's face when he cries Yeah, I guess that's why they call Them Great Smoky Mountains 'Cause they make it hard to find What became of that Smoky Mountain girl of mine
