Lyrics
1. Dear old Lookout Mountain, look for me
From your mountain height above
While you’re watching over Tennessee
Won’t you look out for the girl I love
Tho’ I left you both to roam around
All my romaing days are thru
You won’t doubt when you find out
I’ve been true to both of you
Chorus
There’s a girl I love who waits on Lookout Mountain
With a mountain of love for me
On the winding path where first we found each other
That is where I long to be
She is sweeter than the songs the birds are singing
Back home in Tennessee
There’s a girl I love who waits on Lookout Mountain
With a mountain of love for me
2. Everywhere I’ve been I’ve heard them boast
Of the treasures that they own
Clear from Maine to that Pacific coast
All their wondrous beauties I’ve been shown
Every state has treasures, I’ll admit
But I know a thing that’s true
They own up they were shown up
If they looked at both of you
