On Top Of Old Smoky

on top of old smokey
all covered with snow
i lost my true lover
come a courtin' too slow
for courtin's a pleasure
and parting is grief
a false hearted lover
is worse than a thief
for a thief he will rob you
and take what you have
but a false hearted lover
will sent you to your grave
she'll hug you and kiss you
and tell you more lies
then crossties on a railroad
or stars in the sky
on top of old smokey
all covered with snow
i lost my true lover
come a courtin' too slow
on top of old smokey
all covered with snow
i lost my true lover
come a courtin' too slow
