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
If I had listened to what mama said
I would not have been here today
A lion around this old dale house
Just 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 whole wide world
To the girl I love the best
You caused me to weep and you caused me to mourn
You caused me to leave my home
Oh, the lonesome pine 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 all around this whole wide world
To the girl I love the best
