If I was on some foggy mountain top
Iâ²d sail away to the west
I'd sail all around this whole wide world
To the girl, I love the best
She caused me to weep, she caused me to mourn
She caused me to leave my home
Oh, those lonesome signs and those good olâ² times
I'm on my way back home
If I had listened to what Mama said
I would not be here today
A lyin' around this old jailhouse
Just weepinâ² my sweet life away
If I was on a foggy mountain top
Iâ²d sail away to the west
I'd sail all around this whole wide world
To the girl, I love the best
