Foggy Mountain Top

Cat. #0935 (MFH #210) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on February 9, 1970

VERSE 1
If I were on some foggy mountain top
I'd sail away to th west
I'd sail all around this ole wide world
To th girl I love, th best

VERSE 2
If I had listened, to what my Momma said
I would not a been here today
Lying around this ole jail house
Weepin' my sweet life away

VERSE 3
She's caused me t' weep, caused me to moan
Caused me t' leave my home
In th lonesome time in that good ole time
I'm on my way back home

VERSE 4
O, when you see that girl of mine
There's somethun you must tell 'er
Tell her, not to fool no time away
But to court some other fellow
