“Smoky Mountain Frost” (c) by Solitary Rider aka Andyboy Georgia

I met you on the Little Tennessee river
and you showed me Mars and Venus in the sky
oh the nights in the Fall they bring that lonely shiver
but I’m plenty warm in the shadow of those eyes

So throw another log, in the fire
just hearing your voice, don’t feel so tired
Smoky Mountain frost, Smoky Mountain frost
is thawing me out, oh yes it is
you’re thawing me out

in winter’s bite I wait for your surrender
and our good friends they know what’s going down
you’re gonna see just what this Yankee’s made of
and I’ll be takin’ you home of these nights

throw another log, in the fire
your southern voice, wakens desire
Smoky Mountain frost, Smoky Mountain frost
is thawing me out, oh yes it is
you’re thawing me out

now Spring has come and you’re my one and only
and I’ve cut loose that northern state of mind
we’ll take slow and wind down that ‘ole river
and camp in the heavens on a soft, cool Tennessee night

throw another log, in the fire
just holdin’ you close, all the while
Smoky Mountain frost
