Lyrics

Have you heard the story told
By the old man drinking at the still?
There is something frightful to behold
Hiding in the shadows on the hill
They say there's a beast ever-hungry
He lurks in the dark, lying low
No one returns from the mountain
I just thought you ought to know, so

Take heed, take heed
When you're heading to the east
If you're climbing up Mount Pine
His eyes, his eyes
They can find you in the night
It's too late to look behind
High up on Mount Pine

So, don't let your lantern wane
Keep your voice down low that you might hear
What could cause that chill in your veins?
Is that something near or just your fear?
They say there's no moon by the mountain
That even the stars hide away
You may be a hunter in daylight
But by the nighttime you'll be prey

Take heed, take heed
When you're heading to the east
If you're climbing up Mount Pine
His eyes, his eyes
They can find you in the night
It's too late to look behind
High up on Mount Pine
High up on Mount Pine
High up on Mount Pine
La, la, la, la
Oh, oh
I just thought you ought to know
