On Top Of Old Smokey |
| On top of old Smokey |
| All covered with snow |
| I lost my true lover |
| For a courting to slow |
| Yes courting’s a pleasure |
| And parting is grief |
| And a false hearted lover |
| Is worse than a thief |
| She’ll kiss you, she’ll hug you |
| And tell you more lies |
| Than the cross ties on a railroad |
| Or the stars in the sky |
| Let me tell you 'bout my baby |
| She’s like bad brandy wine |
| The first time I kissed her |
| She drove me out my mind |
| She’s a Baltimore special |
| Got a fine brown frame |
| When you see her in motion |
| Evil woman is her name |
| Did I tell you 'bout the Eastman |
| Lord what a shame |
| He run off with my baby |
| And scandalized my name |
| Well I went up on a mountain top |
| To call my baby back |
| She was gone with that Eastman |
| Down that lonesome railroad track |
| If I ever see that Eastman |
| I’ll shoot him with my gun |
| I’ll cut him with my long Jones |
| And dare that pimp to run |
| Little Liza, little Liza |
| I couldn’t sleep last night |
| Come on back home baby |
| Everything will be all right |
| Let me tell you, let me tell you |
| I don’t care what you say |
| If my woman ever comes back |
| I’ll give my life away |
| If you ever see a dark cloud |
| A-rollin' in the sky |
| It’s my woman gone to heaven |
| With a tear drop in her eye |
| On top of old Smokey |
| All covered with snow |
| I lost my true lover |
| For a-courting to slow… |
