On Top Of Old Smokey - The Hit Crew
On top of old smokey
All covered with snow
I lost my true lover
For courting too slow
For courting's a pleasure
(For courting's a pleasure)
And parting is grief
(And parting is grief)
And a false-hearted lover
(And a false-hearted lover)
Is worse than a thief
(Is worse than a thief)
A thief will just rob you
(A thief will just rob you)
And take what you have
(And take what you have)
But a false hearted lover
(But a false hearted lover)
Will lead you to the grave
(Will lead you to the grave)
And the grave will decay you
(And the grave will decay you)
And turn you to dust
(And turn you to dust)
Not one girl in a hundred
(Not one girl in a hundred)
A poor boy can trust
(A poor boy can trust)
They hug you and kiss you
(They hug you and kiss you)
And tell you more lies
(And tell you more lies)
Than cross ties on the railroad
(Than cross ties on the railroad)
And stars in the sky
(And stars in the sky)
So come all you young maidens
(Come all you young maidens)
And listen to me
(And listen to me)
Never place your affections
(Never place your affections)
On a green willow tree
(On a green willow tree)
For the leaves they will whither
(For the leaves they will whither)
And the roots they will die
(The roots they will die)
And they'll be forsaken
(And they'll be forsaken)
And never know why
(And never know why)
And they'll be forsaken
(And they'll be forsaken)
And never know why
(And never know why)
