Intro: One Verse Instrumental
/ / -
There's a / spot far away you / all know well,
/ /
A / place that's called the / Lookout Hill,
/ / -
Where the / rabbits hop and the / wildcats yell.
/ / -
How I / love that place no / one can tell.
/ / -
There are / trout streams there and / moose and deer,
/ /
But you / never lay eyes on a / grizzly bear,
/ / -
So / take your pack up - / on your back, and
/ -
Head your way up the / Lookout Track.
Intro: One Verse Instrumental
/ / -
There'll / be a time when / I am old, and
/ /
My / poor old bones are / stiff and cold,
/ / -
I'll / head to the Lookout with the / setting sun,
/ / -
When I / smell those spruce trees / I'll feel young.
/ / -
When the / lakes are frozen and the / brooks are high, and
/ /
You / hear the owl in the / moonlight cry,
/ / -
I'll / head to the Lookout with / spirits high,
/ / -
Good - / bye my friends, it's / there I'll die.
