FOGGY MOUNTAIN TOP

CHORUS: If I was on some foggy mountaintop,
I'd sail away to the west.
I'd sail all around this whole wide world
To the one I love the best.

She caused me to weep. She caused me to mourn.
She caused me to leave my home.
Oh, these lonesome pines and these good old times!
I'm on my way back home.

If I'd listened to what my mama said,
I would not have been here today:
Lying around this old jailhouse,
Just a-weepin' my sweet life away.

Oh, when you go a-courtin',
I'll tell you what to do:
Take off that long-tailed roustabout;
Put on your navy blues.

Changed from all caps. --JoeClone, 10-Mar-03.
