[Verse]
Down in the hills of old Tenntucky
I remember the night that I got lucky
I saw you and you saw me
Where the Cumberland River meets the Tennessee
It's good to be good but I'd rather be lucky
Down in the hills of old Tenntucky

[Chorus]
Heard the call of a whippoorwill I thought I smelled a moonshine still
Train whistles moan on down the track taking me back
Down in the hills of old Tenntucky down in the hills of old Tenntucky

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Down in the hills of old Tenntucky down in the hills of old Tenntucky
