lyrics
BROWN MOUNTAIN LIGHTS words & music Mardell McCombs © Talking Rock Publishing
There are things in the dark we can't know
There are places we'd rather not go
We believe in what we touch, feel and see
Mother Earth still guards her mysteries
On the hill there's a light
And it flickers and it glows
And try as they might
Where it comes from
No man knows
The Brown Mountain Lights
Brown Mountain Lights
There's an old legend from the Cherokee
That tells how these lights came to be
Indian maidens search for their lost loves
Since 1200 they've been wandering above
On the hill there's a light
And it flickers and it glows
And try as they might
Where it comes from
No man knows
The Brown Mountain Lights
Brown Mountain Lights
Now if you ask the folks around here
They'll tell of an old railroad engineer
Died in a wreck that broke his back
Now his ghost lantern shines from the tracks
Scientists have come here through the years
To expose superstition and fears
They test and they measure and then
Shake their heads, and go home again
On the hill there's a light
And it flickers and it glows
And try as they might
Where it comes from
No man knows
The Brown Mountain Lights
Brown Mountain Lights
Brown Mountain Lights
There are things in the dark we can't know
There are places we'd rather not go
We believe in what we touch, feel and see
Mother Earth still guards her mysteries
On the hill there's a light
And it flickers and it glows
And try as they might
Where it comes from
No man knows
The Brown Mountain Lights
Brown Mountain Lights
There's an old legend from the Cherokee
That tells how these lights came to be
Indian maidens search for their lost loves
Since 1200 they've been wandering above
On the hill there's a light
And it flickers and it glows
And try as they might
Where it comes from
No man knows

Now if you ask the folks around here

Died in a wreck that broke his back
Now his ghost lantern shines from the tracks

To expose superstition and fears

Shake their heads, and go home again
On the hill there's a light
And it flickers and it glows
And try as they might
Where it comes from
No man knows
