Introduction:

C                                      F                                                            C  
  On top of old Smokey all covered with snow
                                             G7                                                      C  
  I lost my true lover for courting too slow
                                                  F                                                              C  
  For courting's a pleasure and parting's a grief
                                                          G7                                                    C  
  And a false hearted lover is worse than a thief
                                                             F                                                                 C  
  For a thief will just rob you and take all your pay
                                                          G7                                                                 C  
  But a false hearted lover will lead you to the grave
                                                          F                                                              C  
  And the grave will decay you and turn you to dust
                                                     G7                                                                    C  
  Not one girl in a hundred that a poor boy can trust
                                                        F                                                                    C  
  The'll hug you and kiss you and tell you more lies
                                                                             G7                                                                         C  
  Than the crosswalks on the railroad and the stars in the sky
                                                  F                                                      C  
  So come all your maidens and listen to me
                                                          G7                                                              C  
  Never place your affections on a green willow tree
                                                                                        F                                                                            C  
  For the leaves they will wither and the roots they will die
                                                  G7                                              C  
  You'll all be forsaken and never know why
