Down in the hills of old Tenntucky
I remember the night that I got lucky
I saw you and you saw me

Where the###berland River meets the Tennessee
It's good to be good but I'd rather be lucky
Down in the hills of old Tenntucky


Heard the call of a whippoorwill I thought I smelled a moonshine still
Train whistle moan on down the track taknig me back

Down in the hills of old Tenntucky down in the hills of old Tenntucky

[harmonica]


Heard the call of a whippoorwill...
Down in the hills of old Tenntucky down in the hills of old Tenntucky
