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
