On Top of Old Smoky

On top of Old Smokey

All covered with snow

I lost my true lover

For courtin'too slow

For courtin's a pleasure

And parting is grief

And a false-hearted lover

Is worse than a thief

For a thief will just rob you

And take all your pay

But a false-hearted lover

Will lead you astray

On top of Old Smokey

All covered with snow

I lost my true lover

For courtin'too slow
