foggy mountaintop

If I was on the foggy mountain top
Id sail away to the west
Id 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
Shes caused me to weep,
shes caused me to mourn
Shes 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
Ill 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
