If I was on some foggy mountain top,
I'd sail away to the west,
I'd sail around this whole wide world,
to the girl I love the best.
Now if you see that sweet gal of mine,
There's one thing I want you to tell her,
Tell her to not go wasting her time,
Running around with some other fella.
She's caused me to weep,
she's caused me to moan
she's caused me to leave my home.
The lonesome cries and the good old times
I'm on my way back home
If I was on some foggy mountain top,
I'd sail away to the west,
I'd sail around this whole wide world,
to the girl I love the best.
If I'd only listened to what my mommy said,
I would not be here today.
Crying in this hotel house,
weeping my life away.
If I was on some foggy mountain top,
I'd sail away to the west,
I'd sail around this whole wide world,
to the girl I love the best.
