On Top of Old Smokey
Recorded by Eddy Arnold  [3/4 time]

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
 
Repeat #1
