Lyrics: Yes
 
On top of old Smokey
All covered with snow
I lost my true lover
For courtin' too slow

Oh courtin's a pleasure
But parting is grief
And a false-hearted lover
Is worse than a thief
A thief will just rob you
Take all that you have
But false-hearted lovers
Take you to your grave
The grave will decay you
Turn you into dust
And it just isn't one girl
A poor boy can trust

INTERLUDE

So come all you lovers
And listen to me
Don't place your affection
On a green willow tree
The leaves will all wither
The roots will all die
Then you'll be forgotten
But you'll never know why

On top of old Smokey
All covered with snow
I lost my true lover
For courtin' too slow
