P.S. in the live version on CD, they do an extra verse in the middle the

lyrics to it are:

This mountain king, 's done left his throne

On the Tennessee River and his mountain home

But I'm goin' back, leavin' today

to my homeland, so far away

Drivin' down to Dixie, wastin' no time

Back to the good life I left behind

Goin' to the river with my fishin' line

I'm on Lookout Mountain about suppertime

(chorus, last verse, etc.)
