[00:00.86] On Top of Old Smokey - The Weavers
[00:03.24] On top of Old Smokey
[00:07.80] All covered with snow
[00:12.09] I lost my true lover
[00:16.55] For courtin' so slow
[00:19.37] For courting's a pleasure
[00:20.93] For courting's a pleasure
[00:24.53] But parting is grief but parting is grief
[00:27.72] And the false hearted lover
[00:29.56] And the false hearted lover
[00:32.44] Worse than a thief is worse than a thief
[00:36.56] A thief will just rob you a thief will just rob you
[00:41.11] Take what you have and take what you have
[00:44.84] A false hearted lover but a false hearted lover
[00:49.57] Lead you to the grave will lead you to the grave
[00:53.42] And the grave will decay you
[00:55.27] And the grave will decay you
[00:58.41] Turn you to dust and turn you to dust
[01:02.09] Not one boy in a hundred
[01:04.19] Not one boy in a hundred
[01:06.20] A poor girl can trust
[01:08.15] A poor girl can trust
[01:10.26] They'll hug you and kiss you
[01:12.82] They'll hug you and kiss you
[01:15.24] Tell you more lies
[01:16.48] And tell you more lies
[01:18.89] Than cross ties on a railroad
[01:21.03] Than the cross ties on a railroad
[01:23.67] Or stars in the sky or stars in the sky
[02:00.84] So come all you maidens
[02:03.02] Come all you young maidens
[02:06.11] And listen to me and listen to me
[02:09.74] Never place your affection
[02:11.47] Never place your affection
[02:14.38] On a green willow tree
[02:15.96] On a green willow tree
[02:18.21] The leaves they will wither
[02:20.01] For the leaves they will wither
[02:22.88] Roots they will die the roots they will die
[02:26.63] You'll all be forsaken you'll all be forsaken
[02:31.08] Never know why and never know why
