Verse:

C majorC        FF            C majorC
 On top of old Smokey all covered with snow
         G7G7           C majorC
 I lost my true lover for courting too slow
          FF            C majorC
 For courting's a pleasure and parting's a grief
           G7G7          C majorC
 And a false hearted lover is worse than a thief
            FF             C majorC
 For a thief will just rob you and take all your pay
           G7G7             C majorC
 But a false hearted lover will lead you to the grave
           FF            C majorC
 And the grave will decay you and turn you to dust
          G7G7             C majorC
 Not one girl in a hundred that a poor boy can trust
           FF             C majorC
 The'll hug you and kiss you and tell you more lies
               G7G7              C majorC
 Than the crosswalks on the railroad and the stars in the sky
          FF           C majorC
 So come all your maidens and listen to me
           G7G7            C majorC
 Never place your affections on a green willow tree
                 FF               C majorC
 For the leaves they will wither and the roots they will die
          G7G7         C majorC
 You'll all be forsaken and never know why


Outro:

          G7G7         C majorC  FF  C majorC
 You'll all be forsaken and never know why
