    In the great Smoky Mountains in North Carolina
    That's where I have rambled for many long years.
    In the great smoky mountains in North Carolina
    I've followed the trail of tears...ooo...

I've been thinkin' of days gone by, I've been raisin' my spirits high
I've been winking at the years
Memories of our mountain home, now I wander all alone
I've been blinking back the tears

Yellow tallow candle burning brightly in the window
Callin' me back through the pain
Hoof beats sound like thunder, battle cries steal the wonder
Lightning illuminates the rain

Dusty bare feet standing on the road that leads to nowhere
From our empty cabin door
Red cloud said he saw you on the path to Oklahoma
But no one remembers any more
