Foggy mountain top

    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 love the best

 

Now if you see that girl of mine

There's something I want you to tell her

Tell her not to be wasting her time

Running around with some other feller

 

 

Oh she's caused me to weep and she's caused me to moan

She caused me to leave my home

The lonesome pines and the good old times 
I'm on my way back home

 

 

 

Oh if I'd only listened to what my mama said

I would not have been here today

Lying around this old jail cell

Just a-weeping my poor life away
