Generate meaning
1
On top of old smokey all covered with snow
2
I lost my true lover for courting too slow
3
For courting's a pleasure and parting's a grief
4
And a false hearted lover is worse than a thief
5
For a thief will just rob you and take all you save
6
But a false hearted lover will lead you to the grave
7
And the grave will decay you and turn you to dust
8
Not one girl in a hundred a poor boy can trust
9
They'll hug you and kiss you and tell you more lies
10
Than cross lines on a railroad or stars in the skies
11
So come all your maidens and listen to me
12
Never place your affections on a green willow tree
13
For the leaves they will wither and the roots they will die
14
You'll all be forsaken and never know why.
