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

Oh 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
