On Top Of Old Smoky Lyrics - 50 All-american Favorites - Mitch Miller & The Gang

On top of Old Smokey, 

All covered with snow, 

I lost my true lover 

From a-courtin' too slow, 

 

For courtin's a pleasure 

And parting is grief, 

But 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 the grave 

 

And the grave will decay you, 

And turn you to dust. 

Not one boy in a hundred 

A poor girl can trust. 

 

He'll hug you and kiss you, 

And tell you more lies 

Than the cross-ties on a railroad 

Or stars in the skies. 

 

So come, you young maidens, 

And listen to me-- 

Never place your affection 

On a green willow tree 

 

For the leaves, they will wither, 

And the roots, they will die 

And you'll all be forsaken, 

And never know why.
