On Top Of Old Smokey Lyrics - Singles - Burl Ives

On top of old smokey. 

On top of old smokey all covered with snow 

I lost my true lover for courting too slow 

For courting's a pleasure and parting's a grief 

And a false hearted lover is worse than a thief 

For a thief will just rob you and take all you save 

But a false hearted lover will lead you to the grave 

And the grave will decay you and turn you to dust 

Not one girl in a hundred a poor boy can trust 

They'll hug you and kiss you and tell you more lies 

Than cross lines on a railroad or stars in the skies 

So come all your maidens and listen to me 

Never place your affections on a green willow tree 

For the leaves they will wither and the roots they will die 

You'll all be forsaken and never know why.
