Foggy Mountain Top

If I was on the 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 what mama says

I would not have been here today

A-lying around this old jail house

A-weeping my sweet life away

Yeah, oh-lay-ee-oh, lee-oh-la-ee-ay

Lee-oh-lay-ee, lay-ee, oh-lay-ee

Oh, when you see that girl of mine

There is something you must tell her

She need not be foolin' no time away

To court some other feller

She's caused me to weep,

she's caused me to mourn

She's caused me to leave my home

For that lonesome pine and those good old times

I am on my way back home

Yeah, oh-lay-ee-oh, lee-oh-la-ee-ay

Lee-oh-lay-ee, lay-ee, oh-lay-ee

Oh, when you go a-courtin'

I'll tell you how to do

Pull off that long-tailed roustabout

Put on your navy blue

Yeah, oh-lay-ee-oh, lee-oh-la-ee-ay

Lee-oh-lay-ee, lay-ee, oh-lay-ee
