Lyrics

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...
