In the days of the old covered wagon, [Bm] where they camped on the flats for the [D] night,
With the [G] moon shining dim o'er the [D] old canyon rim, they watched [G] for that brown [D] mountain light.
High on the mountain, and deep in the canyon [Bm] below,
[D] It shines like the crown of an angel, and fades as the mist comes and goes.
Way over yonder, [C] night after [D] night until dawn,
A lonely old slave comes back from the grave,
Searching, [C] searching, searching, [G] for his master who's long [D] gone.
