Smokey mountain memories ‘bout my home in Tennessee
                           
yesterday keeps callin’ me, callin’ me home
                           
mountains risin’ in my soul higher than the dreams I’ve known
                                                 
misty eyes they cling to me my Smokey mountain memories


an old grey man with a dog asleep at his feet

plays a worn out fiddle full of melodies

he smiles with his eyes but the lines on his face

told me as much as the tunes he played

                                         
talkin’ ‘bout my smokey mountain memories pretty girl in Tennessee
                           
I was such a fool to leave, leave her all a lone
                              
I think about her in my dreams wonder if she thinks of me
                                                         
I’ll always hold her close to me in my smokey mountain memories

                                 
so mister play your fiddle please play some mountain memories
                            
I’ve been down a lonely road so far from home
                          
nothing left to hold on to made some plans but they fell through
                                                         
now there’s nothing left for me but my smokey mountain memories

I don't know how to play the 2nd verse. It is slightly different from the rest. If
