1
ON TOP OF OLD SMOKEY.
2
ON TOP OF OLD SMOKEY ALL COVERED WITH SNOW
3
I LOST MY TRUE LOVER FOR COURTING TOO SLOW
4
FOR COURTING'S A PLEASURE AND PARTING'S A GRIEF
5
AND A FALSE HEARTED LOVER IS WORSE THAN A THIEF
6
FOR A THIEF WILL JUST ROB YOU AND TAKE ALL YOU SAVE
7
BUT A FALSE HEARTED LOVER WILL LEAD YOU TO THE GRAVE
8
AND THE GRAVE WILL DECAY YOU AND TURN YOU TO DUST
9
NOT ONE GIRL IN A HUNDRED A POOR BOY CAN TRUST
10
THEY'LL HUG YOU AND KISS YOU AND TELL YOU MORE LIES
11
THAN CROSS LINES ON A RAILROAD OR STARS IN THE SKIES
12
SO COME ALL YOUR MAIDENS AND LISTEN TO ME
13
NEVER PLACE YOUR AFFECTIONS ON A GREEN WILLOW TREE
14
FOR THE LEAVES THEY WILL WITHER AND THE ROOTS THEY WILL DIE
15
YOU'LL ALL BE FORSAKEN AND NEVER KNOW WHY.
