Fountain City Lake

[Intro] [Verse 1] In north Knoxville we have a body of water Off Broadway Between cedar and hotel [Verse 2] And if you see it from an airplane It’s heart shaped And fountained With ducks and a spring [Chorus] But it ain’t the duck pond It’s the fountain city lake It ain’t the duck pond It’s the fountain city lake [Verse 3] Then keep it in your memory Twice yearly They drain it And scrape it clean and new [Verse 4] With it’s clear waters a flowing It’s something To Behold You really gotta see [Chorus] But it ain’t the duck pond It’s the fountain city lake It ain’t the duck pond It’s the fountain city lake [Fiddle Solo] [Verse 5] Now any local that you know whose From there They’ve told you Don’t call it a pond [Verse 6] This glorious gander laden lake side It’s scattered With lovers And duck poo on the shore [Chorus] But it ain’t the duck pond It’s the fountain city lake But it ain’t the duck pond It’s the fountain city lake [Guitar Solo] [Verse 7] We carry fishing tackle down there To catch us Some dinner They stock it twice a year [Verse 8] But fish and geese ain’t all you’ll find there It’s also Got memories Of better times before [Chorus] But it ain’t the duck pond It’s the fountain city lake But it ain’t the duck pond It’s the fountain city lake [Verse 9] I feel I could go on forever about her My fountain City home [Verse 10] But it wouldn’t be the same here Without it My fountain City lake [Ending] [END]
