Medley: Red River Valley / On Top Of Old Smokey Lyrics
Medley: Red River Valley / On Top Of Old Smokey - The Guys
From this valley
They say you are going
We will miss your
Bright eyes and sweet smile
For they say you
Are taking the sunshine
That sure brightened
Our path away a while
Come and sit by my side
If you love me
Do not hasten
To bid me adieu
But remember
The red river valley
And the cowboy
Who loved you so true
On top of old smokey
All covered with snow
I lost my true lover
Count courting too slow
For courting's a pleasure
But parting is grief
And a false hearted lover
Is worse than a thief
Or thiefie will rob you
And take what you have
But a false hearted lover
Will lead you to your grave
She'll hug you and kiss you
And tell you more lies
Than the crossties on the railroad
Or the stars in the skies
On top of old smokey
Gone covered with snow
I lost my true lover
Count courting too slow
