On Top of Old Smokey Recorded by Eddy Arnold Written by Charles Grean
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
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
