If I was on some foggy mountain top

I'd sail away to the west

I'd sail all around this whole wide world

To the girl, I love the best



If I had listened to what Mama said

I would not have been here today

A lyin' around this old jailhouse

Just weepin' my sweet life away



If I was on some foggy mountain top

I'd sail away to the west

I'd sail all around this whole wide world

To the girl, I love the best



She caused me to weep, she caused me to mourn

She caused me to leave my home

Oh, those lonesome pines and those good ol' times

I'm on my way back home



If I was on some foggy mountain top

I'd sail away to the west

I'd sail all around this whole wide world

To the girl, I love the best
