On Top of Old Smokey Songtext

On top of old smokey
All covered with snow
I lost my true lover
Come a courtin' too slow
For courtin's a pleasure
And parting is grief
A false hearted lover
Is worse than a thief
For a thief he will rob you
And take what you have
But a false hearted lover
Will sent you to your grave
She'll hug you and kiss you
And tell you more lies
Then crossties on a railroad
Or stars in the sky
On top of old smokey
All covered with snow
I lost my true lover
Come a courtin' too slow
On top of old smokey
All covered with snow
I lost my true lover
Come a courtin' too slow
