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 a-listen what mama said
I would not have been here today
A-lying around this old jailhouse
A-weeping my sweet life away
Oh, when you see that girl of mine
There is something you must tell her
She need not to fool no time away
To court some other feller
She's caused me to weep, she's caused me to mourn
She's caused me to leave my home
Oh that lonesome pine and those good old times
I am on my way back home
Oh, when you go a-courting
I'll tell you how to do
Pull off that long tail roustabout
Put on your navy blue
