On Top Of Old Smokey |
On top of old smokey |
All covered with snow |
I lost my true lover |
From courting too slow |
For courting’s a pleasure |
And parting’s a grief |
And a false hearted lover |
Is worse than a thief |
For a thief will just rob you |
And take all you save |
But a false hearted lover |
Will lead you to the grave |
And the grave will decay |
You and turn you to dust |
Not one girl in fifty |
A poor boy can trust |
They’ll hug you and kiss you |
And tell you more lies |
Than cross lines on a railroad |
Or stars in the skies |
So come all your maidens |
And listen to me |
Never place your affections |
On a green willow tree |
For the leaves they will wither |
And the roots they will die |
You’ll all be forsaken |
And never know why |
