Foggy Mountain Top

The Carter Family

My Clinch Mountain Home: Their Complete Victor Recordings, 1928-1929 (Compilation)

[Verse 1] If I was on some foggy mountain top I'd sail away to the west I'd sail 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 [Chorus] Yeah, oh-lay-ee-oh, lee-oh-la-ee-ay Lee-oh-lay-ee, lay-ee, oh-lay-ee [Verse 2] Oh, if you see that girl of mine There's something you must tell her She need not be fooling 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 For the lonesome pine and the good old times I'm on my way back home [Chorus] [Verse 3] Oh, when you go a-courting I'll tell you how to do Pull off that long-tailed roustabout Put on your navy blue [Chorus]
