Foggy Mountain Top
If I had listened to what mama said
I would not be here today
A lying around this old jail house
Just a-weeping my sweet life away
Chorus
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
She's caused me to weep and she's caused me to moan
She caused me to leave my home
Oh the lonesome pines and the good ol' times
I'm on my way back home
Now if you should see that girl of mine
There's something you must tell her
She need not fool her time away
To court some other feller
