[Lyrics]
On top of Old Smokey, All covered with snow,
I lost my true lover, For courting too slow.
For courting's a pleasure, But parting is grief,
And a false-hearted lover, Is worse than a thief.
A thief will just rob you, And take what you have,
But a false-hearted lover, Will lead you to your grave.
The grave will decay you, And turn you to dust,
Not one boy in a hundred A poor girl can trust.
They'll hug you and kiss you, And tell you more lies,
Than crossties on a railroad, Or stars in the sky.
So come ye young maidens, And listen to me,
Never place your affection In a green willow tree.
For the leaves they will wither, The roots they will die,
And you'll be forsaken, And never know why.
