If I had listened what mama said
I would not have been here today
Wishin' for things that I'll never have
Weepin' 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 whole wide world
To the boy I love the best

You caused me to weep
You caused me to moan
You caused me to leave my home
Oh that lonesome pine
And those good ole times
Have marred my way back home

So when you see that other girl
There's something you can tell her
She need not fool her time away
Tryin' to steal my fella

If I was on some foggy mountain top
I'd sail away to the west
I'd sail all around this whole wide world
To the boy I love the best

To the boy I love the best
To the boy I love the best
