Brown Mountain Light |
In the days of the old covered wagons, |
where they camped on the flats for the night; |
With the moon shinning dim on the old canyon rim, |
they watched for that Brown Mountain light |
High, high on the mountain, and deep in the canyon below |
It shines like the crown of an angel, and fades as the mists comes and goes. |
Way over yonder, night after night until dawn, |
A lonely old slave comes back from the grave, |
Searching, searching, searching, for his master who’s long gone on. |
Many years ago a southern planter |
Came hunting in this wild world alone |
It was then so they say that the planter lost his way |
And never returned to his home |
His trusting old slave brought a lantern |
And searched day and night but in vain |
Now the old slave is gone but his spirit lingers on, |
And the lantern still casts its light |
