Since the time of the early settlers there

A light has been seen on top of old Brown Mountain

A mystery noone can explain

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

for his master Who’s Long Gone On.

And The Old Lantern Still Casts It’s Light
