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...

She caused me to weep she caused me to moan she caused me to leave my home
Oh that lonesome pine and those good ole times I'm on my way back home
If I was on some foggy mountain top...
