[C] [G] [C]
We are on Olympia Mountain, where [Am] the bear and the catamount [C] reign.
There [Am] a strange ghostly light can be [C] seen every night, which no scientist [F] or hunter [C] has claimed.
In the days of the old covered wagons, when [Am] they camped on the flat for the [C] night,
with [Am] the stars growing dim on [C] the high gorge, they would watch for [F] the crown [C] of moonlight.
High, high on the mountain, [A] and down in the canyon [C] below,
it shines like the crown of an angel, [A] and fades as the mist [G] come and go.
[C] They will pre-hunter, [Bb] night after night [C] until dawn.
A faithful old slave, come back from the plain, is searching, searching, [Bb]
searching,
[G] for his master, who's long, long gone.
[C] [Bb]
[C]
Long years ago, a southern planner [Am] came hunting in this wild [C] land alone,
and [Am] here so they say, the hunter [C] lost his way, and never [F] returned to [C] his home.
This frosty old slave brought a lantern, [Am] and searched but in vain [C] day and night.
[Am] Now the old slave is gone, [C] but his spirit wanders on, and the old [F] lantern still [C] passes by.
High, high on the mountain, [Am] and down in the canyon [C] below,
it shines like the crown of an angel, [A] and fades as the mist [G] come and go.
[C] They will pre-hunter, [Bb] night after night [C] until dawn.
A faithful [Am] old slave, come back from the plain, [C] is searching, searching, [Bb] searching,
for [C] his master, who's [G] long, long [C] gone.
