Lyrics
Old Smokey
Traditional, arranged and adapted by Joel Mabus
On top of Old Smokey all covered with snow
I lost my true lover by courting too slow
Now courting is a pleasure -- Parting is a grief
But a False hearted lover is worse than a thief
For a thief he may rob you and take what you save
But a false hearted lover will lead you to your grave
Oh they’ll hug you and kiss you and tell you more lies
Than the cross ties on the railroad or the stars in the sky
I’m gonna build me a log cabin on a mountain so high
So I can see my darlin’ as she goes passin’ by
