  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.)
