Eddy Arnold - On top of old smokey

^COn top of old ^FSmokey all covered in ^Csnow I lost my true ^G7lover by courting too ^Cslow

But courting’s ^Fpleasure but parting is ^Cgrief For a false hearted ^G7lover is worse than a ^Cthief

A thief he will just ^Frob you take what you ^Chave But a false hearted ^G7lover will take you to your ^Cgrave

A grave will ^Fdecay you turn you into ^Cdust And there just isn’t ^G7one girl a poor boy can ^Ctrust

So come all you ^Flover’s and listen to ^Cme Don’t place your ^G7affection on a green willow ^Ctree

The leave will all ^Fwither the roots will all ^Cdie Then you’ll be for^G7gotten but you’ll never know ^Cwhy

^COn top of old ^FSmokey all covered in ^Csnow I lost my true ^G7lover by courting too ^Cslow

But courting’s ^Fpleasure but parting is ^Cgrief For a false hearted ^G7lover is worse than a ^Cthief
