On Top of Old Smokey (在老护林熊的头顶) - Paul Sykes/Paul Hansen

On top of old Smokey

All covered with snow

I lost my true lover

Come a courting to slow

For the courting is a pleasure

And parting is grief

But a false hearted lover

Is worse than a thief

For a thief he will just rob you

And take what you say

But a false hearted lover

Will send you to your grave

And the grave will decay you

And turn you to dust

Not one girl in a hundred

A poor boy can trust

They'll hug you they'll kiss you

And they'll tell you more lies

Than the cross ties on a railroad

Or the stars in the sky

So come all you maidens

Come and listen to me

Never place your affections

On a green willow tree

For the leaves they will whither

And the roots there will die

And you'll all be forsaken

And never know why

On top of old Smokey

All covered with snow

I lost my true lover

Come a courting to slow
