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
Wishing for things that I'll never have
A-weeping my sweet life away
If I was on some foggy mountain top

If when you see that other blonde
There's something you can tell her
She need not fool her time away
Trying to steal my feller
If I was on some foggy mountain top

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'll get the boy I love the best
