1. 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.
|
|
cho: 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.
|
|
2. You caused me to weep, you caused me to mourn,
|
You caused me to leave my home;
|
Oh, that lonesome pine and those good old times,
|
I'm on my way back home.
|
|
cho....
|
|
3. 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.
|
|
cho....
|
|
4. Oh, when you come to courtin' now,
|
Put on you navy blue;
|
That long tail "roust-a-bout" you wear,
|
Don't do a thing for you.
|
|
cho....
