On top of old Smokey
All covered with snow
I lost my true lover
For courtin' so slow
Oh courtin's a pleasure parting is grief
And a false hearted lover
Is worse than a thief
A thief will just rob you
And take all that you have
But false hearted lovers
Take you to your grave
She has kiss you
And tell you more lines
Then crosss tell rerow
And star in the sky
I ' ll go back to old Smokey
All covered with snow
Where lost my true lover
For a courtin' so slow
