Vaughtsviews.com contributor Greg Weir took a few liberties with the traditional “Rocky Top” that UK football fans normally have to hear way too many times during a football game and redid the words to the song based on UK’s win over the Vols Saturday. Enjoy his humor and sing along if you wish.
Wish that I’d been on Rocky Top
in my “We Are UK” shirt
just to see the look on their faces
teardrops splashing in the dirt
Once there was a streak on Rocky Top
lasted bout 26 years
somes a jump’n off dem cliffs
others drown’n in a flood of tears
Chorus:
Rocky Top I can’t believe
yall just lost to Kaintuckee
poor ol Rocky Top
at the bottom of the SEC
Once 2 coaches climbed on Rocky Top
Kiffin hightailed it from ol Knoxville
Hamilton resigned in disgrace
Pearl’s fired for his telephone bills
Kids don’t go to school on Rocky Top
cold chilln and’a talkn smack
old timers long’n for days of yore
but Neyland aint’a coming back
Chorus:
Rocky Top and ol UT
can’t catch a break it seems
the ol In See Double A, done
put probation on both their teams
Ol Kiffin he’s a living the city life
Pearl’s career’s in the ol trash bin
now it truly is a pity life
and I just can’t help but grin
Chorus finale: (Big finish gang, sing along)
Rocky Top u’ll always be
dis-functional to me
poor ol Rocky Top
worst school in the SEC
Rocky Top Tennessee
butt ugly orange, and obnoxious song
yall done lost to Kaintuckee eee eee eee!

Instant classic. Someone needs to get this recorded. I nominate Bill and Aaron of @64West.
Very creative by Greg and knew lot of you would really like this
Living in Tn has been quite rewarding since Saturday. A few UT friends’ congrats have trickled in, while others have remained quiet. A couple have indicated to my wife that their UT husbands were quite distraught after the game. I guess they thought the wins over UK would continue to infinity!
Love it! Go Cats!
Hey acrphoto! Thanks bro, do u know the guys at 64 West? I’m all about taking it viral or having someone put this lil ditty to music!….I had alot of fun writing it, 1 of my best buds in Nashville is a terrific songwriter and devoted anti UT guy. But I’ve lost touch with him since he moved home to Texas.
Greg there is probably a song writers org. in Nashville that might have his address,etc. or you might could gogle him and find him. Good luck.
Thanks Jim….yea I was once a card carrying member of BMI and a published songwriter, but it’s been 7/8 years and lost all of my contacts. So finding a UK friendly kinda guy/gal here in the middle of Vol country might alil prove testy…lol! I don’t have any interest in profiting from it, but thought it might make good morning show fare on a radio station! Or Not!
