On Top of Old Smokey - Hank Williams

On top of old Smokey, all covered in snow

I lost my true lover, by courtin' too slow

On top of old Smokey, I went there to weep

For a false hearted lover, is worse than a thief

A thief he will rob you, and take what you save

But a false hearted lover, will put you in your grave

On top of old Smokey, all covered in snow

I lost my true lover, by courtin' too slow

They’ll hug you and kiss you, then tell you more lies

Than the crossties on the railroad, or the stars in the skies

On top of old Smoke, all covered in snow

I lost my true lover, by courtin' too slow
