You never know - GUEST might have been describing what would happen if we didn't come up with the lyrics, or perhaps someone said that to him/her, so s/he needed to come up with the lyrics to Rocky Top pretty darned quick.

I don't think I've heard the song, but I've heard bluegrassers complain about people always asking for the song. I guess it's to bluegrass what Wild Rover is to Irish singers. I like both songs, but if you're the one playing them, they could get rather tedious after about the 2000th time.
