    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
