Foggy Mountain Top

(A.P. Carter)



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 boy I love the best.



If I had listened to what my mama said

Would not have been here today

Wishin' for things that I'll never have

A weepin' my sweet 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 boy I love the best.



--- Instrumental ---



If when you see that other blond

There's something you can tell her

She 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 boy I love the best.



--- Instrumental ---



You taught me to weep, you taught me to moan

You caused me to leave my home

That lonesome town and those good times

Have marred 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 boy I love the best.



I'll get the boy I love the best...
