Back upon an old dirt road Next to a swamp full of toads Was a slanted wood shack With three little kids and a momma Papa died in '63 Left little jenny and me To plant those 'taters and Pull up another tomorrow Rocky mountain music Fills my memory Rocky mountain music Papa can i hear you playin for me.. Little brother was never quite right He used to sit on the floor in the sunlight Playin with the dust that danced on the beams In the window Sister had to cook and clean Cuz momma she got sick and lean Sometimes i think she just died away missin poppa Rocky mountain music Fills my memory Rocky mountain music Momma can i hear you singin to me.. Well every thing has changed today Little brother he was taken away Sister, she married a soldier and lives in toledo And me i'm in a nashville bar And i've never been so far.. From that old gravel road And the rivers that run through my mem'ry Rocky mountain music Fills my memory Rocky mountain music Brother can i hear you callin me..
