On Some Foggy Mountain Top

On Some Foggy Mountain Top - The Stanley Brothers

Written by：Carter A P

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

A lyin' around this old jailhouse

Just weepin' my sweet life away

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

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

There we'll see that girl of mine

There's something you must tell her

She need not be foolin' no time away

To court some other feller

Oh she's caused me to weep she's caused me to mourn

She caused me to leave my home

And the lonesome pine and the good old times

I'm 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
