Lyrics
On the Pigeon River where the kudzu grows
You'll swear you thought you'd seen a ghost
Haunting them banks, boogering by
Looking for a place to lay down and die
Well, that's just me a looking half dead
Trying to make sense of the words you said
Hush little babe, don't say a thing
Meet me up the mountain with a wedding ring

And I guess that's why they call them Great Smoky Mountains
'Cause they cover every trace and they hide a man's face when he cries
Yeah, I guess that's why they called them Great Smoky Mountains
'Cause they make it hard to find
What became of that Smoky Mountain girl of mine

When the sun shines down on the Tellico plain
The mountains bear the shadow's blame
When love's a little more like that
Just a little glimmer is all you're gonna get
Well, I've seen the Rockies and the Ozarks too
I've knowed a few women but none like you
Hush little babe, the hills have eyes
They see through the haze of your little white lies

And I guess that's why they call them Great Smoky Mountains
'Cause they cover every trace and they hide a man's face when he cries
Yeah, I guess that's why they called them Great Smoky Mountains
'Cause they make it hard to find
What became of that Smoky Mountain girl of mine

On the Pigeon River where the kudzu grows
You'll swear you thought you'd seen a ghost
Of a heartless fool, well, that's just me
Haunting these hills of East Tennessee

And I guess that's why they call them Great Smoky Mountains
'Cause they cover every trace and they hide a man's face when he cries
Yeah, I guess that's why they called them Great Smoky Mountains
'Cause they make it hard to find
What became of that Smoky Mountain girl of mine
