In the Great Smokey Mountains of North Carolina

That's where I rambled for many long years

In the Great Smokey Mountains of North Carolina

I followed the Trail of Tears Ooo Oooo hooo
[Verse 1]

I've been thinking of days gone by

I've been winking at the years

Memories of our mountain home

Now I wonder all alone
E A
I've been blinking back the tears

Bm A
Yellow tallow candle burning

brightly in the window

Calling me back through the pain

Hoof beats sound like thunder

Battle cries steal the wonder

Lightning illuminates the rain

[Verse 3]
Bm A
Dusty bare feet standing
G D
on a road that leads to nowhere
E A
From our empty cabin door
Bm A
Red Cloud said he saw you
G D
on that path to Oklahoma
E A
No one remembers any more
[Chorus]

In the Great Smokey Mountains of North Carolina

In the Great Smokey Mountains of North Carolina
