Faron Young – Foggy Mountain Top lyrics

(A.P. Carter)

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 girl I love the best.

If I had listened to what mama said
I would not have been here today
Just lyin' around this old jailhouse
Weepin' my poor 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 girl I love the best.

--- Instrumental ---

Oh, whenever you see that girl of mine
There's something you must tell her
She need not fool no time away
Courtin' some other feller.

(Yes you caused me to weep)
(Yes, 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.)

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 girl I love the best.

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 girl I love the best...
