On Top Of Old Smokey

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 parting'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.

A longer version that has different words

On top of old Smokey
All covered with snow
I lost my true lover
From courting too slow

Though courtingâ€™s a pleasure
And parting is grief
A false-hearted lover
Is worse than a thief

For a thief will just rob you
And take all you have
But a false-hearted lover
Will lead you to the grave

The grave will decay you
And turn you to dust
Not a boy in a thousand
That a poor girl can trust

Theyâ€™ll hug you and kiss you
And tell you more lies
Than cross-ties on a railroad
Or stars in the skies

So come all you maidens
And listen to me
Never place your affections
On a green willow tree

For the green leaves will wither
And the roots will all die
Youâ€™ll all be forsaken
And never know why

On top of old Smokey
All covered with snow
I lost my true lover
From courting too slow

This version only has 2 verses

On top of old Smokey,
All covered with snow,
I lost my true lover
From courtin' too slow.

From courtin' too slow, dear,
From courtin' too slow,
I lost my true lover
From courtin' too slow.
