If I was on some foggy mountain top
I'd sail away to the West
I'd sail all around this whole wide would
To the girl 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 wasting her time
Running around with some other feller

* Refrain

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

* Refrain

Oh if I'd only listrened to what my mama said
I would not have been here today
Lying around this old jail cell
Just a-weeping my poor life away

* Refrain
