This is a place of legend
This is the Land of the Sky
This is the place where heaven meets earth
I know why, I know why
Old Man Mountain told me
Beaucatcher Mountain told me
The tales he has heard
The things he has seen
No more a silent witness
In his mantle of green
This is a place to call home
Whether or not it is true
This is the place where others found hope
Before me, before you
Old Man Mountain told me
Beaucatcher Mountain told me
The things we have done
The things we will do
Recounting our stories
Some old and some new
He whispers across the Blue Ridge
And the hills echo back in sweet harmony
He whispers, That Old Man Mountain
I’ve got a feeling he’s not said all he’s gonna say
He’ll say he knew some folks
Before they knew each other
The boy chose a path up the mountainside
The girl, she chose another
And ‘neath the moon’s brilliant glow
On that night so long ago
They reached the top
A beau was caught
And there, across the Blue Ridge
The sound of their laughter can still be heard
He told me, that Old Man Mountain
And I believe him, I believe every single word
