On Top Of Old Smokey

(início)

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
