Foggy Mountain Top

(A.P. Carter)

Porter Wagoner & Norma Jean



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 one I love the best.



If I had listened to what my heart's missin'

I would not been this way

I'm wishin' the things that I'll never have

And weepin' my young 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 one I love the best.



--- Instrumental ---



You caused me to weep, you caused me to cry

You caused 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 around this whole wide world

To the one I love the best.



Oh, when you see that pretty faced blonde

There's something you can tell her

To need not fool her time away

Tryin' to steal my feller.



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 one I love the best...
