Train whistle moan on down the track
Taking me back
Where the Cumberland River meets the Tennessee
Down in the hills of old Tenntucky
Down in the hills of old Tenntucky
Down in the hills of old Tenntucky
It's good to be good but I'd rather be lucky
I saw you and you saw me
Down in the hills of old Tenntucky
Heard the call of a whippoorwill
I thought I smelled a moonshine still
