On top of Old Smo key, all cov ered with snow,

I lost my true lover,for court in’ too slow.

1 1 2 -2 4 3 3 -2** -2 3 -2
For cour tin’s a plea sure,but part in’ is grief,

1 1 2 -2 -2 -1 2 -2** 2 -1 1
A false-hearted lov er, is worse than a thief.

A thief will just rob you, and take what you have,
But a false-hearted lover, will lead you to your grave.

The grave will decay you, and turn you to dust,
Not one boy in a hundred a poor girl can trust.

They’ll hug you and kiss you, and tell you more lies,
Than cross ties on a railroad, or stars in the sky.

So come ye young maidens, and listen to me,
Never place your affection in a green willow tree.

For the leaves they will wither, the roots they will die,
And you’ll be forsaken, and never know why.
