(A.P. Carter)

If I was on some foggy mountain top
I'd sail away to the west
I'd sail around this whole wide world
To the boy I love the best.

If I had listened to what my mama said
Would not have been here today
Wishin' for things that I'll never have
A weepin' my sweet life away.

If I was on some foggy mountain top
I'd sail away to the west
I'd sail around this whole wide world
To the boy I love the best.

--- Instrumental ---

If when you see that other blond
There's something you can tell her
She need not fool her time away
Tryin' to steal my feller.

If I was on some foggy mountain top
I'd sail away to the west
I'd sail around this whole wide world
To the boy I love the best.

--- Instrumental ---

You taught me to weep, you taught me to moan
You caused me to leave my home
That lonesome town and those good times
Have marred my way back home.

If I was on some foggy mountain top
I'd sail away to the west
I'd sail around this whole wide world
To the boy I love the best.

I'll get the boy I love the best...
