And the sad sad news in Tennessee.... Everly Bros. songwriter Bryant dead Wrote 'Bye Bye Love, ' 'Rocky Top' Tuesday, April 22, 2003 Posted: 12:46 PM EDT (1646 GMT) Felice Bryant NASHVILLE, Tennessee (AP) -- Felice Bryant, who with her late husband wrote "Bye Bye Love" and other Everly Brothers hits and the hand-clapping bluegrass standard "Rocky Top," died Tuesday. She was 77. cnn.com <sigh> Tweny-eight years ago, a husband-wife song writing team, Boudleaux and Felicia Bryant from Gatlinburg, Tennessee penned the song "Rocky Top." Since that time, the tune has emerged as a pseudo fight song for the UT athletic Teams. The song goes as follows: Wish that I was on ol' ROCKY TOP, Down in the Tennessee hills; Ain't no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP, Ain't no telephone bills. Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP, Half bear, other half cat; Wild as a mink, but sweet as soda pop, I still dream about that. (Chorus) ROCKY TOP, you'll always be Home sweet home to me; Good ol' ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee. Once two strangers climbed ol' ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still; Strangers ain't come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will. Corn won't grow on ROCKY TOP Dirt's too rocky by far; That's why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar. (Chorus) ©1967 by HOUSE OF BRYANT Publications, P.O.
