On top of old Smokey
                 C
All covered with Snow
               G
I lost my poor lover
G7              C
For courting to slow
                 F
Now courting's a pleasure
                C
And parting's a grief
                    G
But a false-hearted lover
G7              C
Is worse than a thief
                  F
A thief will just rob you
                 C
And take all you save
                    G
But a false-hearted lover
G7                C
Is worse than the grave
C                   F           
The grave will just rot you
                C        
And turn you to dust
                G
Not a boy in 10 million
G7              C
A poor girl can trust
                    F
They'll hug you and kiss you
                  C
And tell you more lies
                   F
Than the ties on a railroad
G7              C
Or stars in the skies
                   F
They tell you they love you
                    C
And give your heart ease
                    G
But the moment your back's turned
G7                  C
They court who they please
                F
So come all you maidens
              C
And listen to me
                  G
Don't hang your affections
                  C       
On a green willow tree
                     FG    
The leaves they will perish
                         C
And the leaves they will die
                  G
Then you'll be forsaken 
G7                    C   
And you'll never know why
