C F C
On top of old Smokey all covered in snow

G7 C
I lost my true lover by courting too slow

F C
But courting’s pleasure but parting is grief

G7 C
For a false hearted lover is worse than a thief

F C
A thief he will just rob you take what you have

G7 C
But a false hearted lover will take you to your grave

F C
A grave will decay you turn you into dust

G7 C
And there just isn’t one girl a poor boy can trust

F C
So come all you lover’s and listen to me

G7 C
Don’t place your affection on a green willow tree

F C
The leave will all wither the roots will all die

G7 C
Then you’ll be forgotten but you’ll never know why

C F C
On top of old Smokey all covered in snow

G7 C
I lost my true lover by courting too slow

F C
But courting’s pleasure but parting is grief

G7 C
For a false hearted lover is worse than a thief
