On Top of Old Smokey
Written by Charles Grean
C F C
On top of old Smokey all covered in snow
G7 C
I lost my true lover by courting too slow
F C
Now courting’s pleasure but parting is grief
G7 C
And a false hearted lover is worse than a thief
F C
A thief will just rob you, and take what you save
G7 C
But a false hearted-lover will lead you to the grave
F C
The grave will decay you turn you to dust
G7 C
Not one girl in a hundred, that a poor boy can trust
F C
So come all you lover’s and listen to me
G7 C
Never place your affection on a green willow tree
C F C
The leaves they will wither, the roots they will die
G7 C
Then you’ll be forsaken, and never know why
F C
On top of old Smokey all covered in snow
G7 C
I lost my true lover by courting too slow
F C
Well courting’s pleasure but parting is grief
G7 C
For a false hearted lover is worse than a thief
