Verse:

In the hills of old North Carolina.
Bm                                   D
Since the time of the early settlers there
                                          Bm
A light has been seen on top of old Brown Mountain

A mystery noone can explain

Chorus:
D
High on a mountain.
    Bm                   D
And down in the valley below

It shines like the crown of an angel
    Bm                          A
And fades as the winds come and go.
D
Way over yonder
C                          D
And night afer night until dawn
                                     Bm
That fathful Slave can back from his grave
D                              A         D
To search for his master thats gone gone gone.

In the days of the old covered wagons,
where they camped on the flats for the night;
With the stars growing dim on the old canyon rim,
they watched for that Brown Mountain light

High on a mountain.
And down in the valley below
It shines like the crown of an angel
And fades as the winds come and go.
Way over yonder
And night afer night until dawn
That fathful Slave can back from his grave
To search for his master thats gone gone gone.

In the hills of old North Carolina.
Since the time of the early settlers there
A light has been seen on top of old Brown Mountain
A mystery no one can explain

High on a mountain.
And down in the valley below
It shines like the crown of an angel
And fades as the winds come and go.
Way over yonder
And night afer night until dawn
That fathful Slave can back from his grave
To search for his master thats gone gone gone.

That fathful Slave can back from his grave
To search for his master thats gone gone gone.
