Foggy Mountain Top

(album: Across Generations - 2019)

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 something you can tell 'er
She need not fool her time away
A-trying 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
