On Top Of Old Smokey

On top of old smokey

All covered with snow

I lost my true lover

From a courtin' too slow

On top of old smokey

I went there to weep

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 send you to your grave

She'll hug you and kiss

And tell you more lies

Than the cross tiles on the railroad

Or the stars in the skies

On top of old smokey

All covered with snow

I lost my true lover

From a courtin' too slow
