ON TOP OF OLD SMOKEY

ON TOP OF OLD SMOKEY
ALL COVERED WITH SNOW
I LOST MY TRUE LOVER
BY A'COURTIN' TOO SLOW

WHILE COURTIN'S A PLEASURE
AND PARTING IS GRIEF
A FALSE-HEARTED LOVER
IS WORSE THAN A THIEF

FOR A THIEF, THEY WILL ROB YOU
AND TAKE WHAT YOU HAVE
BUT A FALSE-HEARTED LOVER
WILL TAKE YOU TO THE GRAVE

THE GRAVE WILL DECAY YOU
WILL TURN YOU TO DUST
ONE GIRL IN A HUNDRED
A POOR MAN CAN TRUST

THEY'LL TELL YOU THEY LOVE YOU
TO GIVE YOUR HEART EASE
AS SOON AS YOUR BACK'S TURNED
THEY'LL COURT WHO THEY PLEASE

IT'S RAINING, IT'S HAILING
THIS DARK STORMY NIGHT
YOUR HORSES CAN'T TRAVEL
FOR THE MOON GIVES NO LIGHT

I'LL GO BACK TO OLD SMOKEY
TO LAY DOWN AND DIE
A HEART BROKEN COWBOY
JUST A'SAYIN' GOODBYE
