Foggy Mountain Top Lyrics - Bill Monroe

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 

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 

She caused me to weep, she caused me to mourn 

She caused me to leave my home 

Oh, those lonesome pines and those good ol' times 

I'm on my way back home
