On Top Of Old Smokey

 4  4   5  6   7  -6  
On top of old Smokey, 
 -6  -5  6   -6   6
All covered with snow
4   4   5   6   6 -4  
I lost my true lover 
 5    -5  5   -4   4
From courting too slow
 4    4  5   6    7  -6  
Now courting is pleasure
 -6  -5  6  -6   6
And parting is grief
 6  6   4    5   6   6 -4 
And a false hearted lover 
5   -5    5  -4   4
Is worse than a thief

4   4     5    6   7   -6 
A thief will just rob you 
-6  -5    6   -6   6
And take what you have
4   4     5  6   6 -4   
A false hearted lover 
 5    -5   5  -4 -4    4
Will lead you to the grave
 4    4    5    6 7  -6  
The grave will decay you 
 -6  -5   6  -6   6
And turn you to dust
 6   6   4  5  6  6  -4  
Not one boy in a hundred 
5  -5    5   -4   4
A poor girl can trust
  4   4   5   6    7   -6  
They hug you and kiss you
 -6  -5   6   -6   6
And tell you more lies
  4    4    5    6  6   -4   5
Than cross-ties on the railroad
-5   5   -4 -4   4
Or stars in the sky

 4  4   5     6    7  -6  
So come all young maidens
-6  -5  6  -6 6
And listen to me
 6 6    4    5    6  6  -4
Never place your affections
5  5   -5   5  -4   4
On a green willow tree
 4     4     5    6   6  -4
The leaves they will whither
 5   -5     5   -4   4
The roots they will die
   4    4   5  6 6  -4   5  -5 5  -4    4
You'll all be forsaken, and never know why
