Dinah, won’t you blow
Dinah, won’t you blow
Dinah, won’t you blow your horn?
Dinah, won’t you blow

Dinah, won’t you blow your horn?
Someone’s in the kitchen with Dinah
Someone’s in the kitchen I know

C
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Strumming on the old banjo.
I’ve Been working on the railroad
All the live long day
I’ve been working on the railroad
Just to pass the time away
Can’t you hear the whistle blowing

B
Rise up so early in the morn?
Can’t you hear the captain shouting
“Dinah, blow your horn!”?

CHORUS:
VERSE:
Rocky Top, you’ll always be
I wish that I was down on Rocky Top
Home sweet home to me!
Down in the Tennessee Hills
Good old Rocky Top
Where there is not smoggy smoke on Rocky Top
Rocky Top, Tennessee
Don’t pay telephone bills.
Rocky Top, Tennessee.
