	On top of Old Smokey
	All covered with snow
	I lost my true lover
	From a-courtin' too slow
	Now courting's a pleasure
	And parting is grief
	But a false hearted lover
	Is worse than a thief
	For a thief he will rob you
	And take all you have
	But a false hearted lover
	Will lead you to the grave
	And the grave will decay you
	And turn you to dust
	There ain't a girl in a hundred
	That a poor boy can trust
	They'll hug you and kiss you
	And tell you more lies
	Than the cross ties on railroads
	Or stars in the sky
	They tell you they love you
	To give your heart ease
	But as soon as your back's turned
	They court whom they please
	So come all you maidens
	And listen to me
	Never place your affections
	On a green willow tree
	For the leaves they will wither
	And the roots they will die
	And your true love will leave you
	And you'll never know why

	On top of Old Smokey
	All covered with snow
	I lost my true lover
	From acourtin' too slow
	Now courting' s a pleasure
	And parting is grief
	But a false hearted lover
	Is worse than a thief
	For a thief he will rob you
	And take all you have
	But a false hearted lover
	Will lead you to the grave
	And the grave will decay you
	And turn you to dust
	There ain' t a girl in a hundred
	That a poor boy can trust
	They' ll hug you and kiss you
	And tell you more lies
	Than the cross ties on railroads
	Or stars in the sky
	They tell you they love you
	To give your heart ease
	But as soon as your back' s turned
	They court whom they please
	So come all you maidens
	And listen to me
	Never place your affections
	On a green willow tree
	For the leaves they will wither
	And the roots they will die
	And your true love will leave you
	And you' ll never know why

	On top of Old Smokey
	All covered with snow
	I lost my true lover
	From acourtin' too slow
	Now courting' s a pleasure
	And parting is grief
	But a false hearted lover
	Is worse than a thief
	For a thief he will rob you
	And take all you have
	But a false hearted lover
	Will lead you to the grave
	And the grave will decay you
	And turn you to dust
	There ain' t a girl in a hundred
	That a poor boy can trust
	They' ll hug you and kiss you
	And tell you more lies
	Than the cross ties on railroads
