Starts on Chorus<br />

In the great Smoky Mountains in North Carolina<br />

That’s where I have rambled for many long years.<br />

In the great smoky mountains in North Carolina<br />

I’ve followed the trail of tears...ooo...<br />

I’ve been thinkin’ of days gone by, I’ve been raisin’ my spirits high<br />

I’ve been winking at the years<br />

Memories of our mountain home, now I wander all alone<br />

I’ve been blinking back the tears<br />

Yellow tallow candle burning brightly in the window<br />

Callin’ me back through the pain<br />

Hoof beats sound like thunder, battle cries steal the wonder<br />

Lightning illuminates the rain<br />

Dusty bare feet standing on the road that leads to nowhere<br />

From our empty cabin door<br />

Red cloud said he saw you on the path to Oklahoma<br />

But no one remembers any more<br />
