Verse 
G                C              G 
If I was on some foggy mountain top 
G                    D7 
I'd sail away to the west 
G                    C          G 
I'd sail around this whole wide world 
G                      D7 
To the girl I love the best 

Verse 
G                   C         G 
If I had listened t'what mama says 
G                          D7 
I would not have been here today 
G              C             G 
A-lying around this old jail house 
G                       D7 
A-weeping my sweet life away 

G            C                G 
Yeah, oh-lay-ee-oh, lee-oh-la-ee-ay 
           C           G 
Lee-oh-lay-ee, lay-ee, oh-lay-ee

G              C            G 
Oh, if you see that girl of mine 
G                          D7 
There's something you must tell her 
G                       C         G 
She need not be foolin' no time away 
G                   D7 
To court some other feller 

Verse 
G                                  C            G 
Oh, she's caused me to weep, she's caused me to mourn 
G                         D7 
She caused me to leave my home 
G                         C            G 
For the lonesome pine and the good old times 
G                  D7 
I'm on my way back home 
 
G            C                G 
Yeah, oh-lay-ee-oh, lee-oh-la-ee-ay 
           C           G 
Lee-oh-lay-ee, lay-ee, oh-lay-ee

Oh, when you go a-courtin' 
G                    D7 
I'll tell you how to do 
G                  C            G 
Pull off that long-tailed roustabout 
G                D7 
Put on your navy blue 

G            C                G 
Yeah, oh-lay-ee-oh, lee-oh-la-ee-ay 
           C           G 
Lee-oh-lay-ee, lay-ee, oh-lay-ee
