| 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 boy I love the best
|
| 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
|
| 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 boy I love the best
|
| You caused me to weep, you caused me to mourn
|
| You caused me to leave my home
|
| Oh, those lonesome pines and those 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 all around this old wide world
|
| To the boy I love the best
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| Oh, when you come to court me
|
| Put on your navy blue
|
| That long tail «roust-a-bout"you wear
|
| Don’t do a thing for you
|
| Well if I was on some foggy mountain top
|
| I’d sail away to the West
|
| But I’d sail all around this old wide world
|
| To the boy I love the best |
