Foggy mountain top

1. If I had listened t'what Mama said,
I would not have been here today
Wishing for things I'll never have,
And weeping my sweet life away.

cho: If I was on some foggy mountain top,
I'd sail away to the West
I'd sail all around this old wide world
To the one I love the best.

2. You caused me to weep, you caused me to mourn,
You caused me to leave my home
Oh, that lonesome pine and those good old times,
I'm on my way back home.

cho....

3. Oh, when you see that two-faced blonde,
There's somethin' you can tell 'er
She need not fool her time away,
A-tryin' to steal a feller.

cho....

4. Oh, when you come to courtin' now,
Put on you navy blue
That long tail "roust-a-bout" you wear,
Don't do a thing for you.

cho....
