The Carter Family - Foggy Mountain Top

Текст песни

If I was on some foggy mountain top
I’d sail away to the West
I’d sail all around this old wide world
To the boy I love the best
If I had listened t’what Mama said
I would not have been here today
Wishing for things I’ll never have
And weeping 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 old wide world
To the boy I love the best
You caused me to weep, you caused me to mourn
You caused me to leave my home
Oh, those lonesome pines and those good old times
I’m on my way back home
If I was on some foggy mountain top
I’d sail away to the West
I’d sail all around this old wide world
To the boy I love the best
Oh, when you see that two-faced blonde
There’s somethin' you can tell 'er
She need not fool her time away
A-tryin' to steal a feller
If I was on some foggy mountain top
I’d sail away to the West
I’d sail all around this old wide world
To the one I love the best
Oh, when you come to court me
Put on your navy blue
That long tail «roust-a-bout"you wear
Don’t do a thing for you
Well if I was on some foggy mountain top
I’d sail away to the West
But I’d sail all around this old wide world
To the boy I love the best
