Foggy Mountain Top
Love's Journey Through Misty Peaks
Lyrics
If I was on some foggy mountain top
If I were in an elevated, misty location
I'd sail away to the west
I would travel towards the west
I'd sail around this whole wide world
I'd navigate around the entire world
To the boy I love the best
To reach the boy I love the most
If I had listened to what my mama said
If I had heeded my mother's advice
I would not have been here today
I wouldn't be in this situation today
Oh, wishin' for things that I'll never have
Longing for things that will never be mine
And weepin' my young love away
Crying away my youthful love
He taught me to weep, he taught me to moan
He instructed me to weep and moan
He taught me to leave my home
To leave my home, following his guidance
That lonesome town and those good old times
Abandoning the nostalgic town and good old times
I'm on my way back home
I'm on my way back home now
If I was on some foggy mountain top
Repeating the desire to be on a misty mountain top
I'd sail away to the west
Reiterating the wish to sail westward
I'd sail around this whole wide world
Expressing the intent to circle the entire world
To the boy I love the best
To reunite with the beloved boy
Now when you see that other blond
Addressing another blonde person
There's something you can tell her
Advising not to waste time trying to steal her partner
She need not fool her time away
Suggesting that the person need not deceive herself
Tryin' to steal my feller
Cautioning against attempting to take her lover
Now when you come upon me
When encountering the speaker
Put on your navy blue
Wearing navy blue attire
That long tail [Incomprehensible]
A reference to a specific item (incomprehensible)
Don't blew a thing for you
Not caring or doing anything for the person
If I was on some foggy mountain top
Repeating the desire to be on a misty mountain top
I'd sail away to the west
Reiterating the wish to sail westward
I'd sail around this whole wide world
Expressing the intent to circle the entire world
To the boy I love the best
To reunite with the beloved boy
