If I was on some foggy mountaintop
I'd sail away to the west
I’d sail around this whole wide world
To the one I love the best

If I had listened to what my mama said
I would not have been here today
A-wishin' for things that I will never have
And weepin' my young life away

If I was on some foggy mountaintop
I’d sail away to the west
I'd sail around this whole wide world
To the one I love the best

You caused me to weep, you caused me to moan
You caused me to leave my home
Oh, these lonesome pines, and those good ole times
I'm on my way back home

If I was on some foggy mountaintop
I'd sail away to the west
I'd sail around this whole wide world
To the one I love the best

Oh, when you see that two-faced blonde
There's somethin' you can tell her
She need not fool her time away
Tryin' to steal my feller
If I was on some foggy mountaintop
I’d sail away to the west
I’d sail around this whole wide world
To the one I love the best
