[00:02.97] On top of Old Smokey
[00:07.50] All covered with snow
[00:11.46] I lost my true lover
[00:13.65] Come'a courting too slow...
[00:19.59] A courting's a pleasure
[00:24.60] A parting's a grief
[00:27.87] A false hearted lover
[00:31.74] Is worse than a thief.
[00:35.85] A thief he will rob you
[00:43.62] And take what you have
[00:44.19] A false hearted lover
[00:47.70] Will send you to your grave.
[00:52.26] She'll hug you and kiss you
[00:56.28] And tell you more lies
[01:00.24] Than the cross ties on a railroad
[01:05.22] Or the stars in the skies.

On top of Old Smokey
All covered with snow
I lost my true lover
Come'a courting too slow...
A courting's a pleasure
A parting's a grief
A false hearted lover
Is worse than a thief.
A thief he will rob you
And take what you have
A false hearted lover
Will send you to your grave.
She'll hug you and kiss you
And tell you more lies
Than the cross ties on a railroad
Or the stars in the skies.
