On Top Of Old Smokey

Song Lyrics & Words

On top of Old Smokey
All covered with snow
I lost my true lover
Come'a courting too slow...

A courting's a pleasure
A courting's a grief
A false hearted lover
Is worse than a thief.

A thief he will rob you
And take what you have
A false hearted lover
Will send you to your grave.

She'll hug you and kiss you
And tell you more lies
Than the cross ties on a railroad
Or the stars in the skies.

Alternative Lyrics & Words

On top of Old Smokey
All covered with mud
I found my old teacher
All smothered with blood
A knofe in her back and
An ax in her head
I had a queer feeling
My teacher was dead.
