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
[ autoharph ]
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...
[ banjo ]
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...
