On Some Foggy Mountain Top Songtext
von The New Lost City Ramblers

If I were 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

Now, if you see that girl of mine
There′s something I want you to tell her
Tell her not to be a-wastin' her time
Runnin' round with some other fella


Oh, she′s caused me to weep, and she′s caused me to moan
Caused me to leave my home
The lonesome pines and the good-old times
I'm on my way back home

If I were 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

Oh, if I′d only listened t'what my mama said
I would not have been here today
Lyin′ around this old jail cell
Just weepin' my poor life away


If I were 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
